I have at least 6 blogposts in my que, filled with photos and things I've been wanting to share. but long story short - my hard drive died (lost all my pictures and everything!) and the app I use to blog on my phone was undergoing updates so I wasn't able to post! I haven't found the time to sit down to do much of anything recently as my first born decided to stop napping completely at the tender age of 2.5 (*quiet sob*) and subsequently pushed his bedtime back 1.5 hours. it's been a little exhausting but also fun, sweet and full of lots of funny and precious moments shared with my silly little boy.
all to say - its been hard to post!
I've been putting it off for weeks but I just set a 15 minute timer to at least get one post out tonight. so as I always do as way of getting my blogging engine running once again - here's an every day life post (though now, my blog is mainly made up of them...heh!)
here's a sneak peak of our everyday.
we recently enrolled in a once-a-week mommy-and-me preschool prep class and its been a blast!
best part is being able to share it with friends and meeting other local mamas!
we've also been knee and elbow deep in tinkergarten fun - playing in the outdoors, exploring in nature and just learning how to enjoy the simple beauty of God's creation!
I love being outside so much and Asher has been loving it too!
Asher is in this really fun age where he's thinking, imagining, exploring and asking thousands of questions a day. it's been so neat to see how the wheels are turning inside his head and he's being more and more shaped into his own person.
at his current age, Asher loves to be silly and make people laugh, is still figuring out his feels (so. many. feelzzzz), is warm, tender-hearted and is a complete free spirit (loves to run around, sing songs that he makes up himself and talks all day long). so much fun!
everything is sweeter with friends!
in true California fashion, the summer was stretched by long long weeks of hot weather even as we entered the fall months. the heat is most definitely not my favorite but this past summer was such a blast being able to soak up the sun and lots of water fun with friends.!
I've been trying to be more intentional about spending time at home. it's been a sweet season of learning how to really have the eyes of faith to see my home and my family as a ministry that God has entrusted to me and learning what it means and looks like to be faithful in caring for it (my home, family, etc)
I'm still a little behind (like 1.5 months) on a bday post for Avery, but she's one! I can't believe it. so weird to think that she's a toddler now! she's been walking since about 11 months and I just can't keep up.
she is the teeniest and tiniest walker I ever did see.

as the weather cools down we are trying to spend more and more time outside. here we are eating outside of our garage after a busy Sunday at church. love quiet moments like this! (ps. Asher has recently become obsessed with onion rings. and ranch. which means now I have to share, HALP)
not sure if I can say that I have a favorite season because I seriously love each so much for different reasons! but once October rolled in, I was in fall mode 100% (even though it was still 90 degrees outside). The absolute first foggy autumn morning I wore my furry boots out. It was blissful. it lasted about 45 mins I think because it was super hot afterwards and I was dying in my boots (if I remember correctly I ended up just walking barefoot, lol)
but FALL. I love thee.
I also wasted no time buying literally every kind of squash the first week that Trader Joe's started selling them.
I love everything about fall.

one of the biggest blessings of this past year has been our toddler music class. we have only been hosting it for the last year but it has grown in so many ways and we have so many exciting plans ahead. it's been such a joy because I feel like every month, season and activity is just SO MUCH more fun because it is shared with all of our friends. here we are ringing in this new season with DIY wreaths. PSA: toddlers LOVE glue. like a lot. I bought a 30 pack of Elmer's (LOL I LOVE SCHOOL SUPPLIES)
We've also been so blessed with so many fun activities from Bitty Beginnings! it's definitely helped me so much in having activities to do with Asher as we celebrate each month and holiday and has really been making learning so fun for him! 
there are lots of exciting things I'm planning to share - and I can't wait to get back to sharing them with you here!
until then, stay cool. see ya laters!
xoxo
