It's About Time


Forgive our absence. We have been busy.
Among our more interesting exploits:

We got a pet. Her name is Stella of the Hallway. I can't quite take a good photo of her digs, but we are enjoying her.

We visited friends outside of Austin who have the best pet ever. Sadie, the Duck of the Backyard. If we weren't beholden to our HOA, you better believe we'd have a duck in our yard right this instant. She is the funnest pet I've ever seen.
(Sorry, Stella)

Lucy started preschool. She is loving it.

Rowan got some "monster jams." Could he seriously be any cuter?! I die every time he has these things on.

I finished my second full triathlon in Austin over Labor Day. Also loving it.

Finally, a story from today:

Lucy (sitting in the back of the van eating smarties. Thoughtfully, she picks up the last one): "Mom, I'm going to save this one for a snowy day."
Me (smiling): "I think that's a great idea."
(10 minutes go by in transit)
Lucy: "Mom? I think I'm going to pretend it's a snowy day."

love love love that girl of mine.

I'll bet money you put that cool paper up on the wall behind Stella's bowl. Very cool! But dang that HOA!

Oh, love the Lucy story. She cracks me up.

Such a cool fish bowl. Do they sell such things, or is it a DIY fish bowl?

The fishbowl is part DIY. I did back it with paper using mod podge- but how cool is it that the thing mounts to the wall?
