Friday afternoon....






Friday afternoons are spent downtown at ballet class.
One daughter dances, the other daughter waits.
Sometimes we go on an adventure.
This week we found fall.
It was EVERYWHERE.
In all it's glory.
Just lovely.

Juice...



remember those beautiful, jewel like, grapes hanging around my neighbor's yard....
they are now the most tasty juice you have ever wrapped your lips around sitting on my counter.

A little taste of sweet October....say....in February when you can't quite remember what it was like to feel the sun on your face or smell the sweet, sweet smell of mother earth.
What a lovely gift from my neighbor and her diligent garden.

October in the valley....




This little valley just gets sweeter....
it's grape harvesting time right now...
the grapes hang like jewels from the vine...
they've worked hard all summer...
now it's time for them to shine.


Good morning...



hello world...

I miss....

I miss energy

I miss cooking

I miss shopping at the grocery store (the hubs goes for me)

I miss the smell of cleaning products

I miss working outside

I miss reading stories at bed time

I miss my sewing machine

I miss talking with my honey after the kids have gone to bed (I got to bed at8:00pm)

I miss my girlfriends

I miss food


This body of mine has been taken captive by this thing called pregnancy.

It is stronger than I am.

Please, please body....can we have our normal life back yet???

Week ten....

and this is what week ten brings:

feeling so sick drinking water is just about impossible

a rainy day

focusing on being thankful for all I am blessed with

wishing it was week eleven already!

Three....

First there was one....

then there were two of them....

and soon there will be three....

baby is on it's way!
