chad is on the move. right now he is desperately trying to get into my lap while i'm sitting here on the living room floor.
he's not very happy with his lack of progress. we're alone tonight, him & i. i'm mulling ideas around in my head of what we could do ....
throw out the dead flowers in the vase on the shelf ....
pick up the living room ....
delete 86 emails .....
fix rex lunch for tomorrow ....
sit here and post ....
clean the kitchen .....
make a lot of phone calls ...
find the top of my desk ....
take the nail polish off my toes ....
give chady a bath .....

today we went to a funeral -
i have to say i really do like funerals when you're there to celebrate the life of a godly saint. where there is hope & assurance. and through tears there are smiles because you know the story doesn't end there .... and the heritage & tradition that surrounds these events here is beauty to behold.
i also got the oil changed & the car smogged ... but we didn't document that.
- - -
i'm looking through pictures here wondering which ones to post. there is no order to them, not really any major stories behind them
like this one .... we're just by the pool.
and then ben left & jack got kissed.
.... i know, the rest of you are speaking of your crisp fall mornings & we're still having 96 degree afternoon weather.
so we're still running the a/c & dreaming of wearing coats. i saw a porch with pumpkins set out on it ..... i'm excited for fall.

then there's this series of pictures - they'd go best with the video that shows 'the wedding' but it's still on my phone.
they put on this wedding the other day, using moms old clothes she's kept from her prom days all the way to our old kid clothes.
we were 'allowed' to take pictures after the ceremony -
- - -
it was so beautifully hilarious, we laughed till we cried .... except my mom, she just cried - 'grandma, why does your voice sound like that??' 'oh grandma just loves weddings.'
- - -
so, what's next .... i don't know about you but when i watch slideshows at funeral receptions i always sit there thinking i should take more pictures!! .... pictures of me & rex, pictures of the kids, pictures of life ...
this was a picture i took for a little facebook group photo contest that i never entered ..... one of the categories was titled connection & i liked them all lined up.
i made them promise to not run me over -
- - -
in case you were wondering, he's seven months old already. where's a picture with that written on it you ask?
i don't have one.
all i've got are these from 8/28/12 -
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
and then his sister friend swooped in and rescued him from what she thought was a dangerous situation - good save, doll, good save.
- - -
- regan at the kids pe class - a walk downtown - a late night online search
- 4th day of 4th grade - jack w/ hatchets & swords - harvest
- soccer, soccer & more soccer
- i like the view from my desk - he was happy - on her way out to run
- chad on the move - thinking she's fancy stuff - grandparents day 2012
- waiting outside the wrong restaurant - milkshakes to celebrate the 1st week of school - more school : )
- - -
i thought i'd join in & make it more of a girl picture than it already was .... keeping my eyes opened would've helped.
keeping regan in my lap would've also helped ....
keeping her still ... another good idea ....
and now her eyes are closed ....
as good as it gets : )- - -
it's a lot later now than when i first started this.
i counted, i did 4 of the things off that list at the top.
i'm yawning big enough to make my eyes water & tears to roll down my cheeks.
we've been a little busier lately. we're finding our groove with the kids being in school. i have less free time during the days but i want to remember all this ....
all this life that is being lived right before my eyes - it really is an honor to be a part of it.
