Things I'm Loving...

I've been trying to piece together a post for a while. I started working again part time in the summer and I'm still trying to figure out how to fit it all in. The house work has suffered, art and creating time has suffered but being able to afford our life is definitely the big winner here, and for now that is fine. I read on Soule Mama's blog, Ten Things She is Loving and while I can't do 10, I have a few...

The strength of this girl...

literally and figuratively. Give her something to climb. I went out with a friend one evening and came home to find this on the screen. See it as a slide show here. Makes my heart smile.

The sweetness of this girl...

I can't believe I didn't even post about her first day of school. She's doing great. Loves it. Loves when I come pick her up, too.

My honey... and his re-found passion for cycling. I could complain a little about the back to back Wednesday evening and Thursday morning rides, where the kids don't get to see him for a day and a half, but I won't. He's fit and trim and really enjoying pushing himself. So am I.

A change in the weather...

We had our first drizzle this morning. I wouldn't call it rain yet. But after last week's heat wave, this is certainly a welcome change. I added this and another photo to Uncommon Grace's "Autumn is" flickr pool, check it out.

Progress...

I have finished the back, 2 front pieces, and am now working on the first sleeve. I still hope to have it done before I need it this year. I think it's going to become a staple in my wardrobe.

What else?
My neighborhood... Obama signs as far as the eye can see. We have a little progressive refuge in a conservative leaning town.

Halloween costumes that don't need to be made... We have some dress up clothes that we're going to piece together to make a "Little Red Riding Hood" and a "Fairy Princess". As much FUN as it was to make those teddy bear costumes, I just don't have the time this year.

Blue fingernail polish... Sounds a little junior high, I know. But it's about as wild as I get right now.

That's it for now. Happy Autumn!
