Dusting Off The Cow Webs......

Hello!  How have you been?  It's been awhile, a very long while since I last posted.  I truly didn't mean for it to go so terribly long betweens posts but that's just what happened.   Anybody still with me? 

We are well into our sweet summer break.  LOVE, love summer break and sad to say, we are past the halfway mark.   A few more weeks and we are all back into a school routine.  But lets not talk about that.  Just.not.ready. 

Here's a few snapshots of what I've been up to since I last posted:

Little Easter baskets for the preschoolers in my class. 
Yellow for the girls and blue ones for the boys.


A trip to the Biltmore House in the Spring


Tulips in full bloom at the Biltmore Gardens


Boys playing Little League Baseball
Go Yankees!


Go Giants!


A birthday.  Twelve!  Where does the time go?!


There was the end of the school year, a quickie trip to TX to see family, and Father's Day.  June seems to have whizzed by.   Had a festive 4th of July (I'll show you my flag cake for the occasion later).    

Been enjoying my little family, stitching a little, playing with my stamps a little, reading a little and lots of pinning and blog surfing.   Oh and a little organization and purging too.  Boys had a couple of sports camps this summer but for the most part, it's been a relaxing time; going to the pool, play date here and there and heading to the library just about every week.  Very thankful for the time we have together.

Hope all is well in your corner of the world!  Until next time,

Christmas Time....

Hello December!  Time to pull out the sparkle (aka bins & bins!) and make things merry & bright (messy!) around our home.  Last weekend we pulled out the Christmas tree and decorations and got busy on it.  We all love the look and smell of a real tree but since a pine allergy affects us all, we couldn't use live trees anymore.   Found this realistic looking tree at a local garden shop and we just love it.  It's four years old now and it's as pretty as ever.

Hope all is merry & bright where you are!

Sweet Summer Break......

 
(via Pinterest)

Seems like summer break just started.  Summer days stretching before us with so many possibilities, or none if we wished.  Days of getting up late, staying in pj's all day without a care, maybe taking a dip in a pool to cool off or just relaxing with a good book.  Love summer break with my boys.  Only thing that would make it better is if daddy could enjoy a whole summer break with us too. 

Sweet summer break, we will miss you.  Look forward to enjoying you again next year! 

On to a new year of school!

 Back to school time.

Hope they have a great first day of school!  They are off with big smiles, but I'm going to miss them so very much!
