the latest and greatest at our house




This was my calendar last week and this week is already looking to be a bit slower. Although I do have to work Tuesday and make a thanksgiving dinner for 5 maybe 6. Did I mention that I will probably need to have a root canal this week some time too. Back to the dentist this morning. Maybe this week won't be so slow after all.







I finally got around to creating some creative memories. I will be changing it again soon for December which is just around the corner.






The tree out front is supplying us with plenty of red leaves to rake and jump in. While raking the other day I got the old familiar smell of childhood days in Pa. Sweet memories!!
Look who learned to tie her own shoes in just 15 Min's!!!! She is so proud of her new talent and new sneakers. They are a size 13...yikes, she was wearing an 11. She is growing up.

these were taken with natural light....I am still learning to use the new camera.

Words on Wednesday

OK, so I missed Ten on Tuesday and it is still awhile until Friday so here are some thoughts from me today.

  • Has it been 6 months since my last dental check up? Yes, so back to the nice Dr. B I went and he is going to rescue another one of my food traps. Good news, I have been flossing more and my gums are looking good!! Hope that was not too much info.
  • I feel like I have been so out of touch with friends and I am really struggling with that right now. I guess that I am still trying to figure out how to juggle everything since I am working now. My days off still are so full of things to get done that the time just seems to go so fast. So to all of my friends out there who I have not been in touch with lately I love you and am thinking about you.
  • I started Christmas shopping today and I pray that I can stay on budget and keep the true meaning of Christmas as the focus!
  • It is time for new jeans and I am dreading all the trying on that it takes to find a good pair.
  • Loving the change in weather here and I hope it stays around awhile. It feels like fall, how about that?!?!
  • I am glad that the election is now over and all the signs can come down. I got to take the YES for Prop 8 sticker off my car and the sign out of our yard .... and I think it passed? I think that they still may be counting those votes...anyone know ?

Happy Wednesday to you all!
