on tuesday harper and i bundled up and drove to our beloved echo lake. the landscape was covered with a blanket of sparkly white snow and the lake was completely frozen with hikers in their snow shoes slowly making their way across.

it has been a rough week here, but we are adapting and slowly accepting our new realities. we are trying to stay positive and be especially thankful for our many blessings. and while that is harder to do at times, we will do our best and our little family will grow stronger together.

after a few crummy days, i want only to look at the bright and colorful and cheery things around our home.  

1. quilted pillow that i made last week when the snow came down.

2. vintage clutch that i carried to this on saturday. it was amazing. something on my bucket list.

3. tea towels made by Mattie (whom our daughter, Harper Mattie, was named after) that i came across today while organizing the linens.

the visitors have come and gone. the house is still.

tonight the storm rolls in and we will wake to a winter wonderland. a new adventure for harper and for our family in the mountains.
