Jackson Hole Summer Project

Well our time in Jackson Hole is quickly coming to an end. Tomorrow morning we will load up the car and head back south. Since I did not get the chance to post on a regular basis during the project, I chose my favorite pictures that highlight the past month. I think they tell the story well of our time out west. Being that I have always been honest on my blog, I must say that the past four weeks here have not been easy for me. While I have absolutely loved getting to know the students and staff, the project itself has been difficult. This was my first summer project to staff as a mom and it completely changes everything. Time spent with students is way less, and there were many events I had to forego. I love being a mom to precious Hardy and there is nothing else I would rather do, I just had to learn summer project in a new way. Transitions are just hard sometimes. However, I can say that I am grateful for Jackson Hole because it has taught me a lot about myself. While I am sad to leave the people here, I am kind of ready to get back to my nest and our daily routine. Too bad we have a week long trip home!

Hardy definitely has a sweet tooth
like his parents. He loved the cupcake!



Wilson, Hardy's new best buddy


A battle we fought every day...
trying to keep Hardy from
going up the stairs. 

Why not make the coffee table a tunnel!
