BOO!!!!!!! I'M BAAAAACK!!!!!

 

And I seeeeee you...seeing me!!!!

Ok....seriously, I have no excuses.  I've just been living life around here enjoying the little things. Sometimes, very busy and sometimes just lazy!

I'm afraid I'm watching too much news and getting sadder by the day about the state of our world.

Yet, informed is way better than sticking my head in the sand pretending we're all living in la-la land.

I pray daily for peace.

My lil family stays busy and it seems like they (gkids) are growing like weeds.  Our baby Lane is now

7 so he's really not a baby....but always will be in our minds.  Lilli, our oldest, is now 13!!!!! and living life to the fullest!   Where, oh where has our time gone??

2 weekends ago, we were all in different places having fun...

Cap'n and I went to McKinney for Austin's ball games, then to Plano for Josey's soccer game and back to McKinney for Austin's second game.  He pitched!! and Josey made a big goal!!

While we were there, my middle boy's family was making their way back from the Dominican Republic for a fall break get-away!

And baby boy's family was cheering on our Tigers at Death Valley beating Auburn!!

So, between baseball tournaments every weekend for the Chad's and 1 million teenagers being at the Matt's house and football games and hunting and building the Josh's forever home while going to Lane's flag football games...we've had a hard time all meeting up at the same time at deer camp for our fall get together  😔

But hunting season did begin with dove season in Sept.

and it really kicks into gear in November.  I'm already planning menus for Thanksgiving 😎

Last week, we went on our annual pumpkin shoot .... been going for 13 years...and we always miss our other family from Plano but because we usually go after school, they usually can't make it...

Meanwhile back at home, ms. poppypearl was saying...."Mom, plz take me for another ride!!"
