ready

Gabi: I'm ready for long evening walks during the golden hour. For chasing waterfalls from sprinklers in our neighborhood. For school routine to be out of the window for two months. For slowing down a little bit. For more time spent with my little ones. Summer, I'm ready for you.

 Harmony: He's ready to be a big boy just like his brothers and that means I have to let go (a little bit). His first walk home from the neighbour's, I wasn't ready but he obviously was.

on my mind

Gabi: so many things have changed in our everyday routine in such a short period of time. My mind is constantly racing with thoughts how we will manage. We will get used to it, I know it. We always do.

 Harmony: I'm transitioning into a new role at work. It is beyond my comfort zone but I see good things emerging from this change. It is scary, but I am pushing through.

out of focus

Gabi: We are a family always on the go. We love being outside and having fun together. And if I get lucky, I might even get a perfectly imperfect photo like this one.

twilight

Gabi: I was preparing dinner when I noticed the beautiful light from sun going down behind the horizon. The last few breathtaking seconds before the night takes over everything.

 Harmony: I've always been a morning person. And prefer the dawn and the day's new beginning instead of the twilight.

give

Gabi: this little fella of ours is so energetic, loves running and won't sit for a second but when he is "calm", he loves to cuddle and gives a lot of love around. 

I smell

Gabi: the smell of the rain in the forest. that's the smell of our home.

Harmony: I smell gingerbread, my new favourite tea. 

in the middle

Harmony: My middle son; we try to beat the stereotype that the middle child feels left out. Sometimes I think we do well, I just hope they outweigh the times we don't.

 Gabi: in the middle of the challenging times, we are going through at the moment, the play of shadows on the wall just made me stop and notice the little things. It put a smile on my face as well.
