listening to . . . my morning NPR. Little Fiona (6 month old border collie/lab puppy) attacking her newest toy.
wearing . . . grey workout pants and a UNC Chapel Hill sweatshirt.
so grateful for . . . afterschool care for Frey. The first month without that was incredibly exhausting and stressful.
pondering . . . whether or not I can actually get this blog up and running again.
reading . . . Dead Wake (Eric Larson), Where Snowflakes Dance and Swear (Stephen Manes) - this is ONLY a book for those in the dance world, Beauty in the Word (Stratford Caldecott) - that one you gotta take in tiny chunks!
creating . . . Not a darn thing right now.
around the house . . . time to pull out the fall clothes, the space heaters (we have a room that doesn't get sufficient heat and my homeschool area has a lovely, but chilly bay window), and down comforters.
from the kitchen . . . Chicken and Dumplings tonight!
real education in our home . . . Reading Charlotte's Web with my nephew. I'm really enjoying going back through the many wonderful children's books we have! Artemesia is becoming a very independent learner.
the church year in our home . . . Because ballet has taken over our lives so thoroughly the past 2 years, we are finding less and less time for these celebrations. I'm trying to adjust our celebrations a bit to fit our current schedule. One saint a month...and of course the big seasons.
one of my favorite things . . . this funny little fuzzy hedgehog ornament that sits on my desk, a gift from my girls.
recent milestones . . . Faramir just started a new job. It involves a lot of travel. He's in VA for a week and then OK for 3 weeks!
the week ahead . . . errands today and a home visit from the kids' social worker, then a full week of school and dance. Hoping to buy and carve our pumpkin this weekend.
picture thoughts . . .
