Baby Noah is Here!


He arrived Thursday afternoon,
three weeks early.

We went to see (and hold!) him last night.


Such a happy auntie!


He was fussing a bit so I asked 
Uncle Tadd if he would take him and
stand, maybe walk a little bit with him.  
It did the trick!

We sure enjoyed our first visit with our newest nephew 
and look forward to sharing a life with him.

Thankful Tuesday


Today I am thankful for:

1.  Honoring a promise to myself to take the time to enjoy this Fall, my favorite time of year. 
2.  And by doing so, grounding myself back in my one wild and precious life.
3.  Nourishing my spirit by attending daily Mass. 
4.  Joyful, light-hearted exchanges while working with my new supervisor. 
5.  Making time for rest. 
6.  Yummy cream cheese pumpkin muffin and warm milk breakfast. 
7.  Blessed, perfect timing of a conversation with a wise friend. 
8.  Inspiration from watching Dancing With the Stars. 
9.  Anticipation of seeing our dear littles this weekend. 
10. Welcomed ease of "let it be."

Angel Sunday ~ Angel of Summer


Returning to a fond tradition of sharing one of my angels on Sunday. 

This sweet one is my newest angel. She's a gift from a friend who was moving and downsizing and thought I might enjoy having this wee one come live with me.

She was very right!
