Thank you, it's good to be back.

Oh my goodness! Have I been busy. That was a statement, not a question. I feel so out of the loop. Actually I've been in the middle of a very big loop, I just haven't shared any of it with you. But today, you are going to get so much information about me and what I've been up to that you won't want to hear from me for at least another month!

Here's a photo list of some of the things that have been going on around here:

Road trip to the metroplex to see a now out-of-state friend and let the kids see Nana.

Got a dog for John and named her Chloe.


Had a princess party for my 6 year old princess.

With lots of fancy goodies to eat,

and lots of goodies to take home,

one very grown up girl...

and six candles!


Had another party for my 2 year old princess.


Watching my son play baseball. Go Tigers!


Helped host a baby shower for Francesca.

Made my first pound cake and forgot to add the flour. I got it out and set it on the counter and then proceeded to leave it there, unopened, while I finished the cake and put it in the oven. Did I mention that I'll be turning 37 next month? I'm sure that has nothing to do with it.

Didn't just talk about a garden, but actually started it!

Here's my tomato plants.

Potatoes are coming up nicely!



And last, but certainly not least, I just finished setting up my church's blog yesterday. And you know I wouldn't do that much work and not give you a link to it. Be sure to put a link on your blog if you have one, visit often and comment even more. It'll make Brandon's day!

So, that's just about it. Those are the things I took pictures of anyway. I promise I'll try to be more regular. Maybe fiber will help.
