Summer is Over

This summer has gone by much faster than I was hoping it might with far less beach days and not nearly enough ice cream. Here I sit, 22 weeks and 6 days pregnant, wondering with my children where summer went.

September in the Fraser Valley of BC means clouds and this year, apparently, still smokey skies. We haven't started with the rain just yet, but I've bought some maternity jeans and I'm ready to wear long pants again. Looking back at the pictures, I can see how my desire to live a little more "in the moment" affected my photography since there aren't pictures of everything I remember doing. Now, to be fair we didn't get up to much this summer, but I wish I'd taken my camera to Mann Farms last month where we got to feed goats and ride pedal carts and jump on a giant pillow. I wish we'd taken pictures at a few campfires with cousins or on my birthday when I got spoiled by my sisters and their kids with cake and ice cream and swimming in the pool.

What I have is what I have and now we're looking forward to fall.

Early spring beach days with Tim Horton's treats.

Library books.

Breakfast ice cream.

Baby toes that turned into toddler toes somehow over the course of one summer.

Other things did happen this summer, but you'll find them over at www.honeydewdoula.com and www.honeydewhenna.com since they're related to the births I attended and the henna I did.

Plus, check it out! Two decent family pictures in one summer :) I'm not good at remembering to take those, but here's proof that it can happen!
At the beginning of summer in my dad's back yard.

On Labour Day at Stanley Park where Jo rode her two wheeler without training wheels!

Let's see what fall is going to be like!

My Photo
Hi, I'm Veronica! I'm a passionate DONA trained birth doula and a henna artist. God has blessed my wonderful husband, Greg, and I with three beautiful daughters named Josephine, Charmaine, and Maxine. I consider myself a practical minimalist and don't believe there is one number of things that defines a minimalist but rather a mindset of less. I also love knitting, writing, photography, videography, and creating beautiful things. This is my place to share that passion and the things it produces with others who may appreciate it. Welcome!
