Long pause

I do apologize for the extremely long pause here on the blog. The summer just about did me in. I’m beginning to settle into my new HRT regiment, and I have had four consecutive nights of AMAZING sleep. Nevermind the fact that three of the four nights included pizza for dinner. If that was causal, I’m genuinely afraid of developing that habit. But seriously —a few extra pounds may be worth the luxury of sleep. I’ve never in my life had good sleep and with perimenopause entering the picture about seven years ago, sleep has only gotten worse. The whole world looks different after a good night’s sleep. Four in a row?!? I’m a new woman.

But let me see if maybe some photo posts could get me a little caught up. Bear with me….

Mack came home a while back. Twins!
Rolo is back to normal and now wants to play all day long. She’s like a puppy again!!!

Josh and I went to the Duke Classic football game. It was fun!

Ruby has been in a few weddings lately. She is looking so pretty and grown! I miss her.
Molly is living her best life in Bluffton! And she brought a friend home with her. 🥰
Mack is enjoying his internship at Port City Church. Tuesdays are a busy day for him, and he loves it.

Josh and I went to Virginia for a work retreat. It was beautiful there!

I invested in a cute sun hat and evidently I take pictures of myself when I wear it. I don’t want skin cancer—after seeing Josh’s mohs surgery it made me even more faithful to sunscreen on my face and hats!
The girls saw each other at a wedding last weekend. Sisters!!!
And Mack and Brooke came home for fall break. Loved seeing them!
Mack picks up right where he left off in annoying Rolo.

Most of the rest of my photos are of Rolo. This dog is rotten!!

Oh and one more pic of proof mack was home last weekend. His dryer had been broken so he brought literally every piece of clothing he owned to be washed and dried and folded. It was nice to be needed!
It’s been a great start to fall even though it’s still in the 80s this week. I’m grateful for all we left behind from the summer and looking forward to the holidays! Having everyone under the same roof is a real treat these days!

I found a photo of me with the kids many, many years ago. I think it was 2007–the year the iPhone came out and I didn’t have one. Photos were rare, so finding this was sweet. And a reminder that seasons change. If your kids are all under one roof, snap the pictures. And be sure to get in a picture or two! It goes so fast.

Ok—maybe I’ll blog more often? I suppose I should make no promises. But I’m hopeful I will!
