We got Ethan's senior pictures back!! I of course am too antsy to share them to wait for the official downloads, so these are just some of the proofs. But I think they turned out so well! He's so handsome!! (in my humble opinion). Sorry for the overload, but it's way too hard to narrow… Continue reading Senior pic preview! And other misc. (volunteering at kid stuff + a fall recipe)

When I posted last time, it was Wednesday and I still felt rather frazzled. I'm happy to report that things finally feel like they're settling down. We had a busy but overall nice week. Like I mentioned, we attended a Senior Parent Meeting on Wednesday at Ethan's school. Of course, LOTS of "college application" talk… Continue reading Settling down

NOT actually complaining, because obviously on our wonderful vacation, there was naturally a lot of togetherness time! And that’s a great thing. It’s just… Continue reading Lately
A quick check-in to say howdy and share a few miscellany: Today's the day, Garth Brooks concert day! I'm excited!

For some reason it didn't really feel like that, though? Maybe because work was intense last week. There's… Continue reading Sunday style scenes #2 and the week

Or, it's a lull until the next two years when I'll have seniors and I think there's more of a flurry again as senior year wraps up.
