NIECE // NEPHEW

Some special friends came for a visit this weekend!
Lexington sure is lucky to have kids like Baxter and Glory!

SHAKER//TOWN

Fall Break arrived this week in all its glory! Rachel and I were fortunate enough to head north to Lexington, Kentucky, to see my sister Sarah and family (including this newly one-year-old girl). We had such a wonderful time! On Sunday we visited a nearby Shaker settlement... here are a few photos from the afternoon in Shakertown.

BABY//GLORY

There are few things on Earth as perfect as my niece Glory... except maybe my nephew James. I have been massively blessed to get to see Glory tons this summer, including a three week stay at her home in Kentucky this month. I came across these photos from earlier in the summer and thought the internet would be a better place with them here. 

RAINBOW//CONNECTION

I've lighted in Lexington, Kentucky, this month for some quality time with my sister Sarah, her husband Jeremiah, and my spectacular niece Glory! Glory's room needed some livening up, so Sarah and I took on the task of dyeing a plain white rug. Dyeing was a new frontier for the two of us, so here's a look at our brave journey into the unknown.  

We love it! And Glory keeps trying to lick it, so we think she loves it, too! Turns out, dyeing stuff is fun, easy, and rewarding! I want to try the wall-to-wall carpeting next. Good idea?
