far far behind

and playing catchup...

looking at the big picture - not fretting over one crazy afternoon, a hectic weekend, or a busy couple of days - but life now collectively, as a whole, for me - it is full.
yes, "full," may seem loose to an outsider looking in; but to me - i'm spent!  i used to spend mornings sewing, blogging, cross wording, or piddling (a word?) with my camera in attempt of becoming decent at photography.  these moments of leisure are but a distant memory.
just last week, i took up sewing again after a year long hiatus.  as for blogging, i will try now to summarize 5 or so months of activity in this brief moment i've allotted for myself.
got to get caught up!!!  for my own sanity.

soccer

 pumpkin patch

  and some piddling 

 SHOOT!  i didn't catch up at all.  and my kitchen is a wreck.  how do people find the time???  got to get organized & "with it!"

two head off as lukers

i often divulge how profitable it would be for our family had i not grown up in memphis.  here, i would have no trouble sending my kids to the equally, wonderful schools - "free schools" - in the city.  that darn, sentimental nostalgia i feel for my alma mater, however, hampers any savings we might receive on the educational front.  i can not say though i regret at all sending those i love to a school i cherish.  all special moments - first day of school, school plays, holiday parties, drop off, times i'm able to 'spy', seeing old teachers - i get a little weepy.  sweet, sweet times retold in the lives of these two.     

happy 'one year' little lady!!!
