KEEPING IT LIGHT

I have so much swirling around in my head right now ~stuff that is more "heavy"...so I will save that for another post....I think I need more time to process it all anyway.

But for now ~here's a little update from around here!

please ignore the pile of laundry in the background! :)
Biruk has really taken a liking to Becca's baby doll "Matthias". :) He doesn't carry it around or anything, but every once in awhile you'll catch him holding it or playing "mommy and daddy" with the girls and all of their dollies.

He is VERY sweet and nurturing with the dolls~sweet to see.
I know...you're thinking "what?"...the teeny bud in the middle is a budding pumpkin plant.
We decided to let each kid plant 2-3 pumpkin seeds...in different soils...to see which ones would grow best...and hopefully, by Fall, we'll have some homegrown pumpkins to decorate!

just had to include my summer obsession.
Sun Tea.

It's addicting.
I do 1/2 plain decaf tea and 1/2 Good*Earth original tea

I go thru this much tea in 2 days by myself!

last week was my b-day...nothing special...just another year older. :)

John and I were able to go out to dinner ~just the 2 of us ~then back to my parents to open presents.

The big present was Twist*er!

John and I thought it would be a fun game to get for the family. :)

If you don't have this game ~you need to go get it! It's not only fun but helps the kids with right/left...and is helping Biruk with his colors.
