mountain mama, river belly

on the salmon river - 33 weeks

this weekend we took a brief but wonderful road trip. we stayed in a favorite lodge on our favorite river. we spent the days swimming, hot tub soaking, throwing rocks into the river and watching people catch fish, both big and small. the kids crafted fishing poles out of driftwood and string. the evenings were filled with board games, more swimming and soaking and hot cocoa and fresh cookies, compliments of the lodge. i spent a fair share of the weekend knitting and drinking tea. while we drove we spotted several deer and a beautiful red fox.

we are home now, and home is a good place to be. home... made even better by mountain getaways and family fun!

there is no place like right here, friends- happy monday!

hellooooo belly!

big ol' baby belly, just about 30 weeks, and a sweet little 2.5 year old who wants to be picked up and carried all. the. time *sigh* lately i am beginning to question whether i can realistically get any bigger. of course i know that the answer is yes and the chances are quite likely. 10 more weeks of growing just seems like a whole lot...

spherically yours,
erika

love, currently.

belly half full...

...20 weeks!

beans being spilled!

oh, this boy! he is silly and cuddly and mischievous and loud. whatever would we do without him? he is growing up like nobody's business, changing a little everyday. and, he is not going to be the baby of the family for much longer...

a new little life is on the way, expected this spring, and we couldn't be happier!

he will make a fine big brother indeed!
