pictures n' other stuff

with some beautiful weather we were able to get some family pictures down by the beach. A friend through MSS, Kristel, got some great shots of us, individually and as a family. I'll be placing my order for those today...but then we went again to take a few more...i'll share some of those here.
Soccer will be finished at the end of this week. I just love this picture! Brett is #6. It has been so much fun watching the boys play!
And of course, will "fall" officially here, the pumpkin patch pictures have begun!!! Fall is my absolute favorite time of year...this was my favorite pic taken the other day at Leigh's nephews pumpkin patch!
And in other news: Jorja has decided that it is time to be a "big girl" and now is the proud owner of Dora undies. She is really doing well in that department!!! YAY!!! :)

Wishing you all a wonderful fall season!

tagged!

I was tagged by Stacey, Marcy and Leigh! Here's what you do:

You must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your middle name. (If you don't have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had.) When you are tagged you need to write your own blog-post and then choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag. Don't' forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

P-photography...totally my passion.
A-artistic...well, that's a stretch, but i do love to "create!"
U-understanding...i try to be :)
L-lucky...to have an amazing husband and three great kids!
I-inside...more of an inside person...it's more comfortable there!
N-night owl...love to stay up late!
E-energetic

okay. that's it. why do i have the longest middle name??? And if you're reading this and have a blog, consider yourself tagged! :)

first days of school

have gone well! :) Both boys have enjoyed their new teachers and classrooms. It sure is different having Lucas gone for the full day. But he was ready. And they love riding the bus to AND from school together now!

I'll miss them.

Brett starts grade 3 and Lucas starts grade 1. I can't believe I have boys this old already! Jorja will certainly miss them while they're in school. I'll miss them too. my wild and crazy, thoughtful and sweet boys. xoxo.

Back to Routine...

I love September. the fall season. the beginning of school (loved it as a kid, now I love it as a parent! :). getting into a groove.

Soccer started a couple weeks ago. The boys LOVE playing. I LOVE watching. Their skills have improved dramatically from last year!

I know Jorja will miss the boys terribly though :( They have really gotten along well all summer and take such good care of her.

Here's wishing you all a wonderful Fall season! :)
