home
We are finally home. We spent the past week in Maine on a little family vaca. It was wonderful. The scenery was beautiful, the weather was AMAZING, and the rest and relaxation was much needed. We spent the whole week with some dear friends whom we don't get to see often enough. Today it is back to reality and the Kansas heat. I have lots of pictures that I will share soon. In the mean time, here is a little glimpse into our vacation via Instagram.

So THAT is where you have been! So glad you had fun. Now I will stop obsessively checking in. Ha! Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures.
I got hooked on instagram while on our recent vacay too. Like I needed one more 'internet thing' to be addicted to ;)
You look adorable, love the pictures, just talked recently about my large desire to visit Maine... this post has further increased that desire to visit. looks beautiful, sounds wonderful and cooler weather during Texas summers is always a welcomed change :)
Welcome home! Looks like y'all had a great time. One of my favorite childhood vacations was visiting the lighthouse at Cape Elizabeth!
this vacation looks like it was so fun and relaxing! I like the way you did your pictures and descriptions too.
My dream is to go to Maine someday... did you see amazing lighthouses?
You were in my neck of the woods. In fact, I made the trek south to that very same IKEA last week too. Glad you had a wonderful vacation.

Hi Jess - love that you went to Maine, I'm a NE girl at heart (born and raised in Providence RI) so all of your pics are near and dear to my heart. LOVE Bar Harbor. And of course Dunkin Donuts, the staple of all New Englanders, lol. Looks like you had a great time - welcome home!
Looks like a fabulous vacation! And I am in LOVE with Instagram! The best app ever!!!
Hi there! We live in Wichita but L-OVE New England! We took a big trip as a babymoon two years ago and traveled to Bar Harbor. What a fun time we had. We would love to go back some day. This summer we took our little guy with us and went to Providence RI. I'm curious, how did you guys decide to go there? If you're interested in sharing, would love to see more of your trip!
Oh, I love Maine! It looks like such a fun vacation. Love the picture of you and your boys. So sweet!!!
What cute pictures! I will have to try that out. Is it a website?
Love your pictures! Looks like a wonderful vacation!
Glad you are back. Can't wait to see more pictures.
I'm glad yall had fun exploring Maine. We've been stationed in Mass before and just fell in love with Maine and have been to all those sites you filled with pictures. Thanks for the memories.
We took our honeymoon in Maine 10years ago this month. You brought back wonderful memories. Thanks for sharing.
Just looking at these pictures makes me feel like I've been on a vaca. :) PS I just finished my own 30 day challenge. Thank you so much for getting me started on a whole new perspective to my devotional time. It's so neat that your blog can bring such positive changes to so many people's lives. Thanks Jess!
Hi Jess. Glad to see you guys got a family vacation in before the new little addition arives. I have a question for you. I am about to take my little one on her first airplane ride and was wondering if you have any suggestions to make it as smooth as possible?! I'm packing dumb dumbs (I heard they help with ear poping) and I got two new toys that won't be seen til take off. Thanks for any advice!
Looks like you had a wonderful time... love the instagram memories you shared with us. Beautiful!
Looks like you had a great time! Can't wait to make my own trip to New England someday.

Love the pics. I am from CA but now call Maine home. It is a beautiful state. Glad you enjoyed your vaca.
"We spent the whole week with some dear friends..." It would sound to me that they are the GREATEST FRIENDS on earth. Especially Nate!
I "MIGHT" have some of that crab roll...hmmm... "Might you?"
Please take more pictures of your husband next time. I print them off and hang them up in my bathroom. He is so hot! Your a lucky lady!
How many pregnant women do you know that can only finish half a chocolate mile shake. I know of one now...
We love you guys! Thanks for coming out and letting us spend time with you. Especially Levi! I loved getting "The Look".
Joel, sorry about Owen's low blow good bye.

So glad you got to get away, just the 3 of you before new baby brother comes!!!
Ok, so i'm living in the dark ages and still have a phone where you have to push a button 3 times to get the letter "O", etc... I've never wanted to pay for a data plan or cared about an iphone...
until this post. And now, i'm dying for one. I googled instagram and i'm telling you, i just HAVE to have it. In fact, i emailed my husband and told him i know what i want for Christmas.
It would make my blog life so much easier!
