Behind the scenes

Lest you think that I've totally checked out, I thought that I'd better pop in and give you a behind the scenes look at things that have been happening around here. 

I ripped out the garden and put it to bed for the winter

Finished a book (good one!)

Getting ready for two weeks of travel starting next week. Can't wait to get on that plane!

I'm working on a total redesign of this blog- I'm really excited about it!

Crochet a little hat...

As we're waiting for a very special baby

Keeping everyone fed

Enjoying the girls after school

Playing with friends

Shuttling kids to guitar, and violin, and swim team, and play dates, and dentist appointments, and....

And really, really, really trying hard to slow down, to be kind, and to laugh a little.

(Laurel greets the day. We had such a beautiful sunrise this morning.)

Thanks for being patient with me as I juggle it all! Hope to be back soon!
