The sabbath was made for us, not vice-versa, so let’s enjoy it and not take it for-granted! Maybe take a hike, possibly take a nap, spend time with the people close to you, probably eat some ice cream, step back from the busyness to gain focus and clarity on what important. #forestwayhikes #thewayfam

this kid and his sweet adventurous spirit. I cry every time I think about how much life is going to change for him (for us) in just a few weeks - well, I go back and forth from being super excited and wishing Fern would come soon, to feeling anxious and emotional and wanting to postpone it as much as I can. he is my sunshine boy, my bff, "mine honey" - and I know I am going to miss these days that seem so long before I know it. so tonight, I've got sore hips and all the sweet tooth cravings and a heart full of conflicting emotions, and I'm trying to just take it all one step at a time (and not eat all the ice cream and cereal in the house 😬). #prayforzach #forestwayhikes

Never not running. Life doesn’t slow down for us, so why just stand still and wait? #forestwayhikes

I blinked and all the sudden we’re less than a month away from our due date. We haven’t been hiking very much because we’ve been preparing and trying to get as much done as possible before fern comes. But getting outdoors is good for the soul, even if half the time you’re repeating “no don’t put your hand in that snake hole” #welovefernlucy #forestwayhikes #thewayfam #sunsetdiaries

one 👶🏼 snuggled close on my back and one 👶🏼 kicking in my belly. the good stuff. #forestwayhikes

Always wondering what’s around the next bend. #forestwayhikes

I can’t get enough of him!!!! he’s so smart and wild and happy and fun and intricate! these hikes with him mean so much to me. he sings “you got a friend in me” or the Little Einsteins theme song (to make me walk faster, obviously) and asks sooo many questions - and I have learned to appreciate the questions, even the ones that have been asked for the 5638563rd time, because he is curious and he is learning and he loves everything! and I love that about him! #forestwayhikes #babywearing5ever

we hiked and sang and listened to the birds and talked about our favorite color flowers and also our favorite super heroes. 👩🏼‍🌾👶🏼💐💕 #forestwayhikes
