off to a busy start...

sunday was a day of rest and worship and fellowship with old friends and some shoe shopping for church camp and some more worship and fellowship and teen friends spending the night and playing xbox. sunday mornings i wake up with a hum in my heart...no wonder.

monday brought busyness...gym workout and running kids to and from church activities and practice driving with the oldest son and library and bank and returning shoes that didn't fit and going to a retina specialist to discover i have a cotton wool spot in my eye and then dinner with dialation (hard to see...) and take middle son to grandparents to cut grass and play three games of cornhole (i won one)...time to relax.

why can't every day be sunday?...

saturday night's all right...

today...

we went to my nephew's 12th birthday party. some of us bowled.

i went to the grocery store and bought $129 worth of groceries for $53. {insert yahOOO!}

i continued my quest for photo organization. and looked at some old photos and brought back some sweet memories.

coach sal and i had a date night. we went to chick-fil-a and i tried the new spicy chicken sandwich. wowza. then we went to look for new tevas for camp but the fire alarm went off in the store and we all had to leave. exciting date night, eh??

i ate a box of lilly pulitzer animal crackers (the box was way cute, the crackers still look the same) while i waited on jacob to return from the bare naked ladies concert. he said it was loud. he proved it when he played back what he recorded on his phone. ouch.

and i didn't take a single photo. but i have the memories.

goodnight john boy!

holga goes bahamas...

aren't these images so dreamy?...i love how the holga makes everything look like you were imagining...but it's not an image, it's a memory!

going back in july, and taking all three kiddos with us, hooray!!!

summer oasis...

i hope to sit here soon, in my splendid summer oasis, if it will ever stop raining...

yesterday we went to the beach...nice.

today becky and i worked on lessons for church camp and then i took her to her birthday lunch at ladles. i've also been organizing all my photographs and scrapbooking supplies...that is taking forever...{sigh}...

but i did find my holga photos from the bahamas last summer! i will share those soon.

wish for no rain. and no mosquitos. those guys are pesky.

summer's here...

and i am going to be sure i keep track of how i spend it.

it's going to go by...i don't want to wonder what did i do with it?

on may 31st we celebrated the holiday at a cookout at tommy and becky's.

on june 1st, i helped becky learn how to coupon and grocery shop (in the pouring rain). i also saw erica and jonah's new home.

today i took david to renew his driver's permit. i took mary e to cut her hair for locks of love (it looks so cute in a short asymetrical bob!). i cleaned and organized my bedroom and closet. and i saw shrek forever after (funny!) with coach sal and jacob.

what else is in store?...

the end...
