We had so much fun with Jodi Mockabee Photography  this week. She did such a great job making our family photo shoot fun and memorable. We were laughing and reminiscing about the days when we had to bribe our kids to smile and stay still and look at the camera. It was so surreal to experience our first year taking family photos without all the shenanigans. They’re growing up so fast which everyone knows is bittersweet. I know this is just the first of many photo sessions here in years to come.

You may know from the previous homestead updates I’ve posted that we have decided to sell our current home and build a small guesthouse here on the property. After spending the entire summer in and out of escrow for various reasons, we are back in escrow and if all goes well, we will close by Thanksgiving. It has been a rocky road and not at all what we anticipated but we’re moving forward and couldn’t be more excited….and a little nervous too. We have plans drawn up for the new build and are just in a holding pattern now until everything closes. I always say this but thank you so much for following along with us because in a way, you encourage us to keep going and make things happen.

We hope you enjoy the pics!
