Ahhhhh. Summer.

We're still here, friends. We've just been out enjoying the beautiful summertime!

Here's a little peek at a recent Zenz fam camping trip. Oh, how I love the simplicity that washes over us when we camp. The girls are in their element. A and I breathe deeper. Renewal comes. Yes, please.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Three Little Gifts

As Miss H approaches her second birthday in June, A and I have been realizing more and more that our girls aren't babies anymore. We get all misty-eyed about it sometimes, quieted by the quickness of these years. Other times we look at each other and laugh out loud as their little senses of humor surprise us. We adore these three little women, and recognize them as gifts from a good, good Father.

Lunch breaks are starting to get reeeeeal nice.

Silent Spinning

Sometimes, you don't even need music. You just twirl, because you can.

New Life

Gaze upon the beauty, sweet girl.

Wiggles and Burps

E & H have been setting up their little purple bench a lot lately to perform musicals and the like. The other day, E performed a spontaneous jingle called "Wiggle Your Whole Body." H gladly joined in on the fun. At the end, Baby apparently got the burps. Once again, I'm amazed by these little people and the gigantic smile they bring to my face.

Dynamite Babies

Dance parties in the car are regular occurrences for our family. This was a recent one. It makes me laugh out loud.

Books, Books, Books

How we love books at our house! These were taken at a local bookstore. I love the little stage and chairs. 

I Don't Know Why, But Sometimes She Does This

Baker Extraordnaire

M and I made cookies to share with friends the other day. She was nothing short of adorable in the kitchen.

Pigtails!

Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Day

Recently the older two girls went to their friend Jaydn's birthday party. A and I decided to go for a hike with the wee babe. So much fun packed in to a few short hours! (Too much fun for H, apparently.)

After almost six years here, I sometimes still can't believe we live in such a beautiful place.

Going...

Going...

Gone.

Happy girls. Thanks for the great party, Mann family!

To Each Her Own

Usually all three girls are veeeeeeery relaxed when it's video time, but E chose a new path today. Her sisters, unaffected, maintained their usual position.
