“I wish you could have been there for the sun & the rain & the long, hard hills. For the sound of a thousand conversations scattered along the road. For the people laughing & crying & remembering at the end. But, mainly, I wish you could have been there.” -Brian Andreas ************************* It’s been four […]

    I love you. I've tried to write the "right" words about five times now. I keep deleting because there are no right words. I'm just sorry, Summer. ReplyCancel

Sometimes, social media gets in my head.  Or is it, ‘to my head’?  The constant information, the incessant keeping up, the barrage of “opinions” and the overwhelming amount of “musts” become debilitating at times.  This is especially true if you have “photographer” attached to your name.  (Can I get an Amen, photographer friends?) Either way. […]

    sung to the tune of "get out of my dreams, get into my car" – "get out of my head, and into my blog…."
    i loved running chatter for the week! i love that you didn't try to force lessons of loss upon Chanelle through Pengy the Penguin. and, more importantly, i appreciate how original the animal names are (D-Air….that one threw me for a loop!!).
    love you,

    Yummy! I love that salad, and especially those sweet nuts. I have made parts of that salad and other than the first attempt of burning the nuts, the rest of the time it has been delicious. I will have to try the other recipe. It looks good as well! Maybe I can make it and put it in that tupperware…ReplyCancel

      So, because I'm not sure if you will ever see my response to this comment–I'm emailing you, W. ReplyCancel

    Once again, Summer, we have something in common! I have a pear salad recipe that is a favorite of our families as well! It is a bit different than yours (arugula and bibb lettuce) but so scrumptious. My hubby always requests it for his special dinners (birthdays etc..) I am going to try yours. If you want me to send mine, let me know! As always, love your photography and blog! Thanks.ReplyCancel

      I would LOVE that recipe, Karen. I'm kind of obsessed with this one right now, but would love to expand my horizon a bit. ReplyCancel

Do you ever have days when something just doesn’t feel right?  Days when things seem just a little bit off?  Days when you review, over and over, in your head what you must have forgotten, left undone, or missed so you can right the wrong so that all can be right in the world again?  […]

    Good morning and Happy Friday, Sum! I just wanted to say that I needed to read this post today. (its been a crummy week here) Thank you for helping us to see the world the way God wants us to see it. I normally come here to see how things are going for you and the family, and every time I stop in– I am blessed! Love you!

    Happy weekend to you.ReplyCancel

It was our third morning in Jamaica and Chad and I were trying to decide what we were going to do with our day.  We quickly found that laying on the beach was only fun for a certain amount of time–especially when the hue of our skin matched that of the snow covered ground we […]

    as usual, you nailed it on the head, summer. such wise words. when you hear the word "world" the first thing that pops into a lot of people's mind is The World. What we tend to forget is that we all have our own worlds within The World, and that's what we need to keep beautiful.

    as far as boiled eggs go: i was boiling bottle nipples when joey was three weeks old one afternoon and fell asleep while rocking him. we woke to the smoke detectors going off, the kitchen almost in flames and meghan yelling for us. yep! i know right where you're coming from! ; )ReplyCancel

    My goodness, just beautiful. "But maybe, just maybe, it's enough to love that which is right in front of us."

    Yes. Yes it is. Thank you for the perspective! x
