an update with some light-headed rambling // beautiful pics of baby girl

hello friends!  i am writing to you with a back-to-work cold that seems to be worsening by the hour.  i am so over dayquil and kleenexes.  eh.  sad to say, it was expected as sort of a back to work ritual that inconveniently takes place every fall and there's not a whole lot i can do about it.  but i digress.  here are some of the things this little family has been up to lately, outside of work, i might add.

- we took lots of walks in loose park paired with the most perfect swing session under a family of over-grown oak trees.

- to go along with those perfect park days, there was precious hand holding down curvy pathways aaaaand...

- one adorable wee one who knows how to rock the baby mullet :)

- the little miss and i had a bedroom playdate with the occasional appearance made by madeline, stella's current fav, whilst pulling on mama's necklaces, stella's other fav. 

- hugging.  lots and lots go hugging.  especially for mister leon who adores them from his big sis.

- and, the totally awesome wearing of our new fall kicks.  you dig?

so what's on the agenda for the rest of this weekend?  sleep.  and lots of it.  i'll be back next week with a clear head {fingers crossed} and lots of stories about my first weeks back teaching crazy middle schoolers.....you know it's gonna be good!
