So far, my annual wish for a long autumn seems to be coming true. There are some years when the heatwave seems to flip-flop into frost in the blink of an eye, but not this year. Aside from a welcome rain storm here and there, the sun is shining and the temperatures are perfect. It can’t believe we’re a week into October already…and that I’m almost halfway done with this pregnancy! EEK. When time seems to fly by, I find that it’s the best time to pause, take in my surroundings, and breathe a sigh of gratitude. Here are some recent happy moments!
Even decaf is acceptable when it’s this pretty.
Seafood is starting to sound good again! Grilled shrimp salad with cilantro-lime vinaigrette.
Nursery finds for our little mountain baby.
One last summery day at the reservoir with friends!
Sometimes you have dinner with friends and they send you home with a HUGE bag of java!
Gelato forever. The salted caramel was the best.
A delightful morning at Snowbird for an overnight stay-cation.
Baby loves doing the Can-Can in my belly when I’m settling into bed for the night. #18weeks
“Watching football.” Lazy Sundays are the best!
I’m still dreaming about those Cuban sandwiches we made!
Morning skies.
My gourd addiction has been kept at bay… SO FAR.
Guess who turns FOUR on Sunday! I can’t even deal. #gimmeallthepuppies
Later, we’d find ourselves between a big female moose and her bigger male suitor. Yikes.
It’s been a while since I spied such a perfect reminder of LOVE on the trail.
They’re everywhere.
Naptime commitment.
In 10 short days, I’ll be sunning my big belly in Mexico with my family!
One year ago, we were hiking through snow to Heart Lake.
Two years ago, we got our first big snow at home!
Three years ago, the guest room was Wedding Gift Central.
Four years ago, John had the best beard ever (I like it bushy!).
Five years ago, I was sipping beers with by brother in Seattle!
And this morning, Cholula and I wandered under the pines.
You know. Just the usual bliss.

18 weeks already! eeeeeek!!!!! You look gorgeous and it was definitely a blissful week:))
It’s 19 weeks now! BASICALLY HALFWAY. How did this happen?!
Loving the mountain theme for the nursery! If I were to have a little boy I would totally steal this idea. So precious.
Since we don’t know the gender of the baby, we kind of thought the mountain theme just went with the way we live. Obviously we plan on having a little adventurer!
You are “Bump Blissing” – loving the mountain theme for the nursery 🙂 Paws In the Air – ha! – your pup is a RIOT! Happy Day – Enjoy 🙂
She’s ridiculous! We love her!
