i'm-a-blogging....

one of my BEST gifts EVER!! my sister had my blog (2009) made into a book!!!!

she's really the BEST sister EVER!!!

alright people, i've put it off long enough. the thought of catching up on months of my Project 365 is bad enough but then throw the thought of blogging 6 weeks worth is just about putting me over the edge.

so i have choose to do nothing.

well THAT did a whole lot of nothing.

baby steps for me...starting here on my blog...today!!!

i'll start at the beginning-it's a very good place to start.

in late june, i headed to New Jersey to visit my sis and fam. the number ONE reason for my trip was MY KIT (http://www.morethanenough.blogspot.com/) graduated from high school. (have yet to get a grad pic but will work on that). my mom and dad were also there to help celebrate.

unfortunately for me, a few days before i left, i put out my back so those first few days there were a bit of a blur. thankfully, the New Jersey crew did a great job of taking care of me and before long, i was off and running (not really, i don't do that whole running thing). my week ended up being a relaxing time away, in spite of missing the kiddos and hub.

here's a glimpse at my week there.......

mom & dad, ben & mady synchronized 'swimming' in the hot tub. :)

my daddy baking gram db bananas bread. he's really concentrating if you can see his dimples.
can you see them???

great back therapy. this was ALMOST worth the pain. oh, the life.

finally, new jersey.

giving my livey girl some loving.

miss mady attempting the karate kid dance??

kit giddy thinking of all the new things she can buy with her grad gift cards.

my sis and i. please note the new blog book in my hands.the way i'm standing, you can tell i'm busting with excitement.

ben and dad playing chess. in case you couldn't CLEARLY see that.

i love this one of mady loving on dad. the way his hand is over hers is precious.
