I can honestly say that the past two months time has been flying forward at warp speed. Perhaps this is Sign One that I am truly an adult. Our little birds are getting bigger and have begun new things like Tball and Almost.There.Walking. To highlight our busy schedule, the MommaBird has taken on more than ever before- a booming creative cottage business through her photography, and summer classes have begun at the Driving School. I can't say NO to any of our obligations because well, I love each one too much to choose a favorite. AND we are managing just fine through it all. :)
I miss writing though. I want to share more than just hasty updates thrown together over morning coffee... I want to write. Draft, revise, publish. I want the PROCESS of writing again. BUT I'm not gonna sweat it at this point.
June is my Big Month. Four classes of teenagers. Loads of editing and mustard.seed.photography shoots galore. My plan? Gather up my courage, keep things in perspective, delegate, and keep the java flowing. I'll work my way through it- and take it easyish in July and August.
Life is good. I turned 29 years old this past Monday. In that 24 hour span, 29 years after I arrived on this planet, I did three things I love with all of my heart: teaching. photography. and was a mother to my boy.joys. It's hard to believe that in my life, the things that I love most... my childhood dreams have come true. I've reached those goals and am working hard to meet more.
I have stories to share! My crazy furniture story! To make it short and sweet- I ran across a circa1940's dining room set of furniture while antique shopping with my mom (a little pre-birthday day.away). Bakelite knobs. Beautiful details. Incredible price. I loved it, Marcus knew it, and two days later it showed up at my house looking for a good home. Who said dining room furniture was for the Dining Room? I've turned one piece into a furniture cabinet in my bedroom. I love our little nest. And I love that it looks like us around here.
The boys are well! James finished up his first Tball season on a high.note. He was awarded the Game Ball- and it was a beautiful thing. I'm not sure he's ever wanted a single thing more in this life than that Game Ball... it would even show up in his prayers from time to time. :) As proud as I am of our first.born, I'm even prouder of his daddy. It was Marcus' first time coaching something like this- and I can honestly say that 12 little boys here in Zachary were encouraged by the kindest and most capable Coach around. It's amazing how his temperament and love.of.the.game makes him uniquely suited to mentor kids. I couldn't have been any prouder... of BOTH boys.
Jackson is growing before our eyes! He's something else, in fact. He's talking up a storm and walking everywhere (as long as there is a finger to hold on to). He has been ready to walk for a month, standing and sitting without any assistance at all. BUT he refuses to strike out on his own without help. Hard.headed, that on. And SMART!
I'm teaching next week- then will be off for a week. I hope to catch back up soon...
Until then, here are a couple of images from the past week or so. :)
***Thanks for the emails and comments fussing at me to update. Makes me smile!
Peace, love, and a.day.off!
