Well, goodness...

...that was more of a break than we intended.

It's funny how that seems to happen, you know? 

You stop work on something one day and then, all of a sudden, it's two months later before you pick it back up again. 

I'm going to call it "Mini Rip VanWinkle Syndrome".

Though, while we have been partaking in cider (ala Mr. VanWinkle), there haven't been any rousing games of Nine Pins. Only...



a little beach trip...




someone's first birthday...



discovering that someone is big enough to slide down the big slide at the park by himself...






finding this at one of our favorite local thrift stores (RVA Antiques)...(oh, and having no idea how to hang it up..."How to Hang Foam Board", look forward to that blog post. I'll probably call it "Hang Time", because I'm not feeling very original and also because I will always be in love with this show.




some aerating and seeding (fun for the whole family!)...




I'm also honored to say that I was elected Queen of the Gourds on our venture to the pumpkin patch. Or maybe "Most Creative Use of a Gourd as Jewelry".  Either way, I'm launching a whole vegetable accessory line, look for it at Target this Spring. 

Hopefully you all are having a lovely season (Autumn, Spring...in life...) and we'll get back in the swing of this house blog thing soon. I mean, I don't know about you, but I'm already super excited to get to that "Foam Hanging" post. 




Gratuitous pictures of the kids...because I think they're adorable.
