hard to believe i’ve been sharing these monthly posts for a full year now. although technically, this is really post eleven since i didn’t share last month. BUT i think i had a pretty good excuse, being in tanzania and all — and i think i made up for it with my RIDETZ posts. 
july was an exciting month for us, filled with lots of traveling:
san diego, CA
carson city, NV
tahoe, NV
san francisco, CA
vegas, NV (an unplanned stay & ER visit)
battle lake, MN.
we spent less than a week at home in july, which was perfectly fine by me.

I can only imagine how hard it is picking which every month to hang in your home unless your walls are completely covered!! I am in awe of them all! Your perspective, your love for your family! I thought we had traveled a bunch, my goodness I am exhausted for you LOL!

You’re brilliant.
Oh Deb, there are no words!! What a beautiful month, and summer you are all having! Your water play and shadow play….glorious!! Will you make a summer album? It would be amazing!!
I took a picture of that same giving birth mural in San Fran. I’m loving the water pictures. Thank you!
What a great group of images. The story and the lighting. I think the water surface images are out of this world. Keep doing these…find a lake and keep it up. It is so inspiring and beautiful.
