as the summer days fade a.w.a.y…
i imagine one day i’ll think back to certain seasons of our life and wonder what we did all the day long.
this summer was a little tricky.
i imagine the kids might only remember our BIG TRIP (which was cool – eh).
we’ve had mostly mellow (wait – no day is mellow. scratch that.) CRAZY days trying to keep everyone alive and not fighting.
nice.
things do seem a whirlwind when everyone needs mom at the same time.
i’m struggling with balance with home/work/play/fun.
this past week we had some great moments.
we got a piano. my heart is happy.
we harvested food from the garden. tru’s heart was happy.
we watched olympics. hannah’s heart was happy. go gymnastics!
abe got his cast off. his heart was happy.
max got to eat a treat. his heart was happy.
zu-zu won the battle and ate popcorn. her heart was overjoyed.
jimmy is about to launch his website at work… his heart is full of joy (he really said that) that he is finally able to send out a church site that is optimized.
anyhoo… here’s the rest of the week in photos from the phone.
i do love the convenience of the phone camera … just not the quality.
p.s. thanks to opening my etsy shop for 48 hours and all the great customers, this is coming in the mail on Tuesday (thank you Amazon Prime). It’s a Panasonic Tough camera. It’s supposed to be unbreakable (ok – mostly), waterproof, dust proof (in case I’m in a sand storm in Egypt), etc. It will be super with kids. I hope it takes decent pictures.
(wow… that is quite the life-size image of the camera. I love that it’s orange. It’s the color of the year for me.)
Yay for a new camera and piano!! And dont worry too much about the popcorn, its been all of my kids favorite since they were tiny and no one has choked yet!
My point and shoot is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH27. I like it okay. Yay for a new camera, especially orange..my fav color! :) Happy Monday.
YOU GOT A PIANO!!!! I am sooo glad, Heather! You mentioned the camera, and it looks way cool! I love you guys and that you find happiness in all the dailies. (I understand the popcorn thing, too…a lot of kids are strong little eaters :)
