DPP 2011 * Peek

Today I met my dear friend Deea in downtown Bozeman for a mama date. It was lovely to have some quiet moments away and we had a great time catching up. One of our stops included Stix, a knitting/yarn shop. It was my first time in such a place and oooooooh it was amazing. I wanted to touch everything. I bought some delicious Malabrigo yarn (Rasta/Arco Iris) and some chunky needles to try my hand at a cowl. Although it may be awhile because I just learned how to cast on/knit TODAY :)  Loving the process.

We were especially smitten with the "guerrilla knitting" on their railings and the giant ball of yarn. Such fun.

DPP 2011 * Motion

With four kiddos roaming about the holiday house, the living room is in a constant state of motion. Even more so when Uncle Ryan starts a giant wrestling match. Bella and Lucy are having a blast playing with their cousins every day!

DPP 2011 * Rugged

We made it to Bozeman! There is a lovely blanket of white on the ground and we are enjoying time with family.

It's always bittersweet to come back to a place we love so much. Feelings well up inside and I've had to work through emotions of wishing we were here again. Rugged feelings. Like the mountains surrounding us.

But God teaches through all of it...about contentment and peace and beauty in each season of life. And for that I am grateful.
