Neglect

I have severely neglected my photo blog and feel that I have altogether given up on my 365 day journey. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be to take a photo of something new and interesting every single day. I know this probably means that I am just lacking in creativity. I am disappointed with myself that I let so much time get away from me without purposefully taking a new picture every day. Maybe one day soon I'll feel inspired and decide to start up again. For now, the year long photo journal was a bust for me.

In other news, I feel that motherhood and parenting has becoming increasingly difficult these last few months. Now that Audrey is walking and has been for a while, it seems that my job description has become more of a referee than a mom. Judah and Audrey seem to constantly fight with each other. Yes, they do have their sweet moments when they get along and giggle about the same thing. That lasts for about 30 seconds and then the bickering continues. It's exhausting to say the least. I look forward to the day when they finally enjoy each other's company and can share with one another without being prompted by me.

And finally, I do have a few photos to share from my weekend away to Mt Baker with Andrew. We stayed in a little cabin in a very small town called Glacier. There was no cell service which these days is just plain weird. We drove out to Nooksack Falls and hiked around a bit. The falls were gorgeous and the greenery in the surrounding forest was stunning. The woods were so damp. I don't think they ever dry out, even on the warmest of summer days. After hiking around the falls, we drove all the way up Highway 542, which takes you straight to the summit of Mt. Baker. There was still plenty of snow on the mountain, and it even began to snow when we reached the top. We caught a quick view of Mt. Baker's peak, and learned that just adjacent to Mt Baker sits Mt Shuksan. A nice little geography lesson. Unfortunately, it was quite cloudy, so our visibility was low.
