The weather was completely gorgeous today. At 5 pm we decided to have a fire pit dinner. Jude and I ran to the store for essential fire pit food, Jason’s brother picked up firewood on his way over. It was gorgeous outside but once the sun set it was pretty chilly, perfect night for a fire. I love the feeling of warm knees when the rest of your body is cold, roasting marshmallows and stargazing. It was a good end to a very chaotic and draining week.
Another cellphone pic. We hightailed it back to San Antonio after Jonah’s ortho followup so that I can work. I had an evening session an hour away from the campground. By the time I got on the road home it was SO DARK on these twisty back roads. My PTSD tends to keep me from driving at night, too many moving lights. My nerves were shot by the time I got home. I was so thankful to pull in!
I cannot pick one photo for today. I love them both. Zachary fell and Jonah was first on the scene to console and check the boo boo. With a slew of busy boys we get lots of skinned knees around these parts.
Mom tip: I keep a spray bottle of colloidal silver in my purse and hiking backpack. It is a great antiseptic that works to heal cuts, abrasions, and wounds.

1. My timehop app tells me that on this date last year we were back on the road and leaving Texas for the year. Our current plan is to be here for another 7 weeks at least. That’s ok, this is where we need to be, but it reminds me of how much I miss the open road and the excitement of our next adventure just around the corner. We are not a family that is good at sitting still.

3. Zachary is so much fun at this age. He will turn 3 in February (?!?!?) and every other thing […]
One of my most favorite things about living on the road is our ever changing backyard. Tossing dinner in the instant pot and heading out for a walk by the lake in our campground with two little boys who love to throw rocks. Always time well spent.
