Lately

Most of these are hardly new photos...cause seriously, it's been forever.

What we've been up to....

 a mini stay in St. George with some friends, a vasectomy, started homeschooling/unschooling, battled colds, winter blues, and postpartum hair loss (yes. it's a thing. it's worse than labor.) visited the planetarium, flown helicopters in the house, tried some family photo shoots, prepared for piano lessons and baseball season, tweaked our diet for a wheat allergy, rearranged our house at least 3 more times, bought yet another couch (it doesn't stink) celebrated Jude's 8th birthday, planned our trip to Florida this summer and have gotten serious about some weight loss. 

Oliver is now 4 months old people. This means business. 

I blame it on the winter. I've got a kettlebell with my name all over it. 

I can't be the only one who's struggled with winter this year, am I? It's been so hard.

Is it my age? Has it really been harder than every other year?

I don't know. 

But it's been down right unbearable at times. I'm sure having a new baby (and new baby body that goes with it) has added to my winter blues.

And don't get me wrong. I love Utah.
Just not in the Winter.
I love the snow. Especially the first few of the season. It's the inversion and grey, life-less days that suck the happiness right out of me.

But thank goodness it's finally on it's way out. We had some teaser weather last week that snapped me right out of whatever winter funk I was in for months. I felt an immediate surge of energy and happiness.

Sunshine, you some powerful stuff.

Now for some race training, green smoothies, and gardening.
My favorite time of year is right around the corner.
Thank. The. Lord.
