Healing Isn’t Linear, Part 2
I have started writing this post so many times, and I’ve had to start over multiple times. There are so many things going on in my life at the moment, and some of the most important things can’t be shared… so it’s hard to know where to start. First, I want to bring up what…

Adventuring as a Family
I took this pic as Robert was getting things set up inside the tent. I thought the sunset was beautiful and wanted to capture it! I also got this one. These are just iPhone pics so they aren’t amazing, but it’s fun :-). Anyway, an email went out yesterday by our neighbors and good friends…
