Zenz Life

Lately

Here are some recent shots of Zenz Life. It's been a rich, joyful summer for us. Thank you, God, for your good gifts. Thank you for your sustaining grace as we keep learning to love each other well.

A recent two-summit backpacking adventure for A and some friends. Beautiful.

My last few Sunday mornings have looked like this. And it has been so, so refreshing. Thank you, A, for loving me and letting me breathe deep.

Welcome, fall.

Michigan

We had a wonderful family vacation in Michigan in August with the rest of the Zenz clan and some dear friends. We love you all! Here are many, many photos chronicling our summertime adventures.

Get it, Brady.

Julie, H, and I are pretty excited about what's in front of us.

That's my girl.

The classic H stance.

Walking to the candy store up north

Sweet, comforting sister

H really trying to hold it together for the cousin photo shoot

Family!

Cousin Love

I cannot. stop. giggling.

H tries out her new walking feet. On a picnic table. And I took pictures of it. Oh, the third child.

So big!

And a little flair to end the show

The annual birthday celebration for M and E!

Walking as Primary Mode of Transportation: Check

August was H's month to seal the deal with walking. It's definitely a toddle, as evidenced in this little clip, but it qualifies as a walk. Cutie walker, we love you. Hold your head high in this world, baby girl. You are a child of the King!

Smarty Party!

We've kicked off Kindergarten at our house, where we enthusiastically refer to "school at home" as "Smarty Party." Mercy is SO excited. She is most focused on learning to write her lowercase letters in these early weeks of school, and she is totally rocking them. All three girls love our nature walks, calendar time, and goofy phonics songs. Here's to a lifelong love for learning!
