any why haven’t i been blogging?
long answer... sewing lunch bags out of oilcloth, scrapbooking and getting caught up on over a year unjournaled (thankfully i have a blog and that helps my memory), labor day @ the beach, baby shower for my sister-in-law @ the beach, taking three kids to 3,897 activities, high school grounded apologetics class we are teaching AND hosing in our home, throwing birthday parties, throwing engagement dinners, making lots of cupcakes, back to school madness, general all around madness, and some other things that i can’t even remember.
the short answer...
life.
and it is good. whether it is blogged or not.
but even if it isn’t blogged. it is documented in photos.
jumping for joy labor day weekend. i think they could take this act on the road... and be run over by a truck....
a little baby shower for the new baby girl arriving in november @ jeff and dean’s house... if you know jeff and dean suggest the name “lea” as a wonderful choice for the new baby....
maxx’s mag lab birthday party. only a month after his actual birthday. love the group of boys that has their heads tilted to the side. i think it was the pull of the magnets...
the best part of the party was making ice cream with liquid nitrogen. and then playing in liquid nitrogen poured on onto the sidewalk and having ice crystals form on your clothing...
though watching maxx’s friend michael dance was cooler than liquid nitrogen...
and then the green(e) crane engagement monday night dinner for sarah greene and jeffrey crane (hence the green(e) crane theme). maxx made origami green cranes and set them up to go up and down when the doors opened (which didn’t work too well because the cranes weren’t heavy enough, but nevertheless it was a cool idea. maybe he did learn a thing or two at the mag lab....)
i made the triple citrus cupcakes for the cupcake tree and added photos from 4 years of sarah and jeffrey’s courtship... plus a photo of sarah pre-jeffrey kissing a power ranger on the cheek at disney world and a photo of jeffrey and his younger woman girlfriend... a.k.a. rosie....
so, like i said... life is good. love is better.
