the fourth..

it was a lovely fourth! sigh.. oh if every year we could spend it like this.. :)

life lately..

it passes so quickly! this is just a quick post to say, yes.. we're all still here, well & accounted for! ..and yes, it has been shamefully long since i've made any type of posting efforts.. but i fall asleep each night knowing that my family has been fed, laundered, scrubbed, shoed, chased, shoed again, cuddled & tucked safely in bed. :)

wanta trade?..

a sweet friend of mine is hosting a lovely jewelry exchange! (this is a snap of what i'm bringing.) have something you never wear? trade it for something you will! such a cute idea!

on other even more noteworthy fronts.. we have again been back & forth to ca. clem walks!! paolo, our mini, is up & running! and spring is in swing! joy!

informal introductions..

whew! ok, had to get that out of my system! .. i love her.. :)

oh, goodness..

well.. all i have to say is this..

hi friends, meet clem!

over the past 9 months and 11 days i have entertained countless thoughts of how to undertake another great blog catch up.. but alas.. the thought is completely overwhelming!

how is life? incredibly blessed. incredibly humbling. ..and yes, very sleep deprived. ;)

..but a deep joy. :)

i'll try my best to get back at this blogging thing.. but the computer is upstairs & i can't tell you how far away that is!
