Week 30 | 2019

There is absolutely no intentional photography happening these days. Any photos are just haphazard and unplanned. Lots of of thinking, “oh, no, I don’t have a photo for today, better snap something”. My girls are all about PERLER BEADS, which they last did when they were probably 6 or 7 years old. They have spent hours and hours creating designs and sorting them while listening to the Spiderman soundtrack, Blondie, The Pixies, and The Greatest Showman soundtrack. I have abandoned planning and list making, and I mean to get back to that- but never do. Without a plan, I will continue to read books and wander around outside. Which is probably fine, actually.

Week 29 | 2019

There are so many things about biking included in this week of photos. My husband finished the Bohemian Sto Mil race (whoo hoo!!!), and then the next day we took my son’s training wheels off of his bike. This resulted in days of bike riding at every opportunity, but it is all kind of evening out now as he gets back to all of the other things five year olds do. One child is very over represented in this week of photos, so I will have to be mindful of that this week.

We doing a lot of preparations for the start of school- 16 days away as of this time I am writing this. New backpacks have arrived, school supplies are purchased, a cello is rented, piano is about to resume, and I spent too much money on school clothing at Old Navy (which has suddenly become WAY expensive- why?). I have ordered a new laptop for myself, and am planning out what my new daily schedule will look like when I have six uninterrupted hours every day. Nervous, excited, all of the emotions.

Tecpán Market, iPhone XS

During the time I spent in Guatemala, we ventured away from Project Somos to visit the local market in Tecpán. These photos were taken Thursday, June 27th, 2019 with my iPhone. I didn’t feel totally comfortable taking out my big camera, as this definitely wasn’t some sort of hopping tourist spot- this was the regular market where local residents buy their food and other needed items. We were already looking pretty conspicuous. I am so happy that we were able to have this experience. I think this group of photos really shows off the color and feeling of Guatemala.
