V and Co: summer pics: riding a bike

i couldn't handle it anymore...
it's been a month.
or so.
whoa.
i can't remember the last time i let that long of a time pass without sewing.
but it's like riding a bike...
i was kind of nervous to attempt it again after so long...
but once i got the wheels moving...
i was going at full speed.
it's nice to feel the excitement again.

V and Co: summer pics: relax

for the summer months i'll be blogging here and there with a few pics of what we're up to. i'll be closing comments so that i can focus mainly on my family and this special and rare occasion of having my WHOLE family at home. you can still contact me via email, facebook, or twitter. please feel free to! and we'll "talk" more on the blog after the summer months! thanks so much!

relax:
this last week was a little on the "oh my gosh are things falling into place?!" and of course when you are dealing with the future and it's details...stress and excitement arises.

this last week i was grateful for some distractions like:
fresh cut flowers.
freshly painted finger nails...

and time at local parks...

where we could let the kids play so we could talk about our plans and what exactly we are going to do, which job we finally will decided on, and of course starting our mass search on the states we will possibly be moving to.
but for now i'm just going to relax...till things fall more into place.

V and Co: summer pics: cousins

cousins:
katie has two little girl cousin's right about her age that she's just getting to know.
oh they've seen each other at christmas or thanksgivings past and done just fine in staring at each other from across the room or even playing dolls next to each other...
and well a couple of weekends ago my cute niece got married and...
...for some reason...it just CLICKED

and they went from being "just cousins" to the phrase: "can i play with my friends that are my cousins?" like a hundred times a day. a mother can take only so much repeating of the same phrase before she wants to pull her hair out...so just to relieve the headache...we'll call them to see if they can play.

V and Co: summer pics: unpacked

for the summer months i'll be blogging here and there with a few pics of what we're up to. i'll be closing comments so that i can focus mainly on my family and this special and rare occasion of having my WHOLE family at home. you can still contact me via email, facebook, or twitter. please feel free to! and we'll "talk" more on the blog after the summer months! thanks so much!

unpacked:
so, week 2 at our temp location and we're finally out of boxes. well...almost.
i've taken the "hometel" attitude that my kids call this place (home/hotel) and decorated it minimally...just enough to show someone that they really want to buy the place.
because well, we're only planning on being here for a few months till we decide where we're going to take a job and a more permanent residence...

but even after just two weeks of moving back into our "first purchased home" i am all nostalgic and remember just how much i loved living here and am having kind of a hard reality that after 10 years of owning this little place...we're finally putting it on the market...and i have a sneaky suspicion that if it sells i'm going to be super sad.
seriously...i can clean the whole place in like an hour flat.
who doesn't love that?

Thank you all for playing!

Okay, while I'm in limbo this summer, I'm going to be closing the comments and just blogging a few lines of our life and what im up to with a few pictures to go with it. I will of course let everyone know (uh after we tell our families first) where and when we will be moving for the second and more permanent time (lets hope ita sooner than later!) And then if I get stuff done I will post it, but basically I'm taking the summer off...sort of. I'm going to enjoy the husband and kiddos all being "home" at the same time...of course we'll be spending it mainly at the water park, but that's okay. So yeah. Starting next week closed comments, but I'm still here. And you can contact me via email, or Facebook, or twitter.
We'll talk soon :)
