fire!!

baby boy, watching football.  starting him young.  

fire dept day.  chris is behind e (in red), holding on to the rims.  best i could get with him.

trying to do handstands with his buddy, e.

my kids and me.  only time i saw chris smile that whole day...  he was super shy/not excited.  

a family walk the other night.  with a gorgeous view of the ocean.

running them before bed.

she finally lost a tooth!!!  

his smile.  and his "swun-glasses".  

eating his "home-us".  (pronounced with a real "greek" accent on the "home" part)

love watching this boy!

we are still falling in to a nice routine.  it seems that if i am really balanced in a few areas, something is lacking.  if the house is cleaned, dinner is made, dishes are done, and i am sewing a bit, then laundry is filling the house.  or laundry might be done, but i don't get to sew.  i am trying to find the balance, and so often, i also find that there are just not enough hours in the day!

i am also trying hard to cut down on my "screen" time.  less email, Facebook, pinterest.  trying to be better about that.  

we had a beautiful indian summer weekend.  we took the kids and dog to the beach and it was just lovely!
