Saturday we drove down to the Clark Fork Market in downtown Missoula. We got there at about 11:30 because, Hi we are summer people who like to sleep in. After getting stuck in a no parking zone in our bohemoth truck, we found a parking space across the river. As we crossed the bridge, we spotted a few dudes surfing the rapids. Once we made our way into the market…
This quote always stops me in my tracks. So I thought I would share it with you today in my own messy handwriting. Are you far too easily pleased? I am. Far too often, I am. Originally posted on June 21, 2013
I’m what you might call a horrible journaler. First of all, I never stick with it. I have stacks of half-finished journals around the house.

So now is a good time for me to unplug, focus my attention on their tender hearts, and settle our family into a new way of living. I’ll be back sometime next week…
Nine years ago today we lost our first baby. Every time June rolls around I feel like I should share that with you. But I haven’t because I don’t know how to talk about it in a blog post. If we were sitting across from each other enjoying a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, I would tell you anything you want to know about the little life…
