As I have shared, August was a well-traveled month. In just those 31 days we saw Ft. Lauderdale, San Diego, Lake Tahoe, Michigan, and made our way back to Bahrain. Here are a few random moments. Enjoy!
This shot is just a great example of the desert beige of Bahrain. So you can see why the green green green of places like Lake Tahoe and Michigan were so poignant to me.
Steve and I enjoyed the Labor Day holiday at the beautiful Al A’ali mall. It’s a gorgeous work of art with beautiful shops. What could be better?
The architecture of the Al A’ali mall is such a stark contrast to the charming red barn that lived right across from where we stayed in Michigan. It even housed real live horses and a tractor! Not just a prop, this was the real deal!
I love this picture of Grammie and Luke and Lane. My kids adore her, and I love the way she is forever whisking them off on some kind of adventure or another. This time . . . wading through the water at sunset.
For some reason, this is one of my very favorite pictures ever taken of Elle. We now have a 6 month old in our house (so grown up) who is eating solid food and loving every bite. She has even decided she might want to sit up now and again on her own. She continues to be all joy (and by that I mean she sleeps through the night!). 🙂
We also have a ballerina in our midst! Miss Lane has started ballet class and — as you can see — she couldn’t be happier about the whole arrangement.
This one you’ve likely seen already, but I couldn’t resist sharing it again as it just makes me so happy. Luke out in the wild. Where he belongs! These Middle Eastern-hot days keep us inside far too much, and I find myself reliving our glorious time outdoors this summer. So thankful to have had the opportunity to travel. And, also, so thankful to be together here in Bahrain.
This is such a random assortment of shots, but it tells a story to me of going and coming, of adventuring out and returning home. As we settle into the fall’s rhythm, I am grateful to get to be these kids’ mom, my guy’s girl, and to get this wild life.
As summer closes and fall begins, what are you finding yourself grateful for?
