September Musings

100 degree heat index for our back-to-school/Birthday of Mary party.  It was still one of the most grace-filled afternoons of my life.  Friends to confide in and seek prayers from.  That is a gift that all mothers, all people I am sure, need.  I am so grateful for the communion of saints.  So grateful that I'm not trying to go this alone.

Where did my newborn go?  Fleeting fleeting newborn days.

Sam is all pink and chubby.  Healthy and happy.  He sleeps a lot and is getting very big!  Still, he is an infant.  And I'm treasuring him.

Here's an old snapshot of Arwen's friend's garage sale at the end of the summer.  They worked for days to prep for it, and then the first day was a total rain0out!  You can see the sign was ruined by the rain.

Arden's friend decided to run the sale through two weekends and ended up making over $500 dollars when it was over!  We scored some nice play dough sets that the kids played with outside for days...until it rained again and most of the leftovers were washed away.   I am never able to keep play dough for long, which is why buying it at a yard sale was a boon. :)

Must kiss!

Sweet Eowyn with her Grampa.  She loves him!  He calls her "Mary", which is not her name.  She wore a scarf over her head a summer ago and told him she was Mary, so that's what he calls her.:)

Time flies!!  I just had to try to post a little to see if I can get my groove back...at all!
