last night when i put nathan to bed, picked up the kitchen + playroom, made lunches, then finally sat down i could not stop thinking about how fast time goes by. days to weeks + weeks to months. christmas felt like just yesterday or at least last week+ before you know it ill be wrapping up the school year. maybe its because we have to plan so far ahead in our fast paced world. i mean just yesterday i was being asked about what nate's doing this summer. ahh summer! i have so much to do! im so far behind! i wish i could just wear a sign at all times that states, "if you are going to talk about something two months ahead, you are causing me to slowly have meltdown inside...your choice."

i just want to take a breath + that's what my new series is about. taking a moment to be in the moment. i am challenging myself to take a picture of my family once a week. i know that sounds crazy, i post about a dozen plus pictures of nate a week, but i mean to take a photo of a moment when i am 100% in the moment. once i get home from work + after school activities i get so wrapped up in everything else that needs to be done. i am half playing legos with nathan + half cleaning, making lists, writing, lesson planning, life planning. these things can wait, these moments cannot. before i know it nathan will be four then five, six, seven, eight...then, well you know dating! i want to capture these moments with my little while he's still little. 

so here are the first moments of our year so far. enjoy a peek into our life with nate.
