do you think 27 days is enough time for me to get this together? i actually have most of the things i need from last year...
need to decide on the type of album, any suggestions?

you can read more about her December Daily album here
a quick recap for those of you who want to know
these went to school on friday and were yummy!
here is the "school" version of j's costume...i loved his hair!
and the class minus a few costume pieces by the time this photo was taken
what a day...
then on to north georgia to visit our good friends john and julie and some real trick or treating
the "real" thing!
our gang...minus jackson t....not sure where he was, possibly putting his costume on under his clothes
a peter parker thing from what i understand
this pretty much sums it up...a blur!
goes by fast, doesn't it? except for the candy which is begged for at our house for entirely too long
i think everything jackson wants to eat turns his mouth blue.
nice.
maybe there should be a "day after halloween" holiday where all children consume every piece of candy, get a stomach ache and get it over with
over the weekend we ALL consumed enough eats for an army and that goes for football and other "things" too!
GO YELLOW JACKETS!
the weekend was a quick one, that's how it goes when you visit with friends! we'll have to do it again soon!
happy monday Tuesday! no school tomorrow...
this has never happened before
normally there is gagging
not that there wasn't this time around...
happy halloween week!
the weather begins to cool off, especially in the mornings and then the warmth of the sunshine in the afternoon
i love that feeling
and with halloween brings corn maizes, hay rides and pumpkins!
trying to find our way...
and just so you know, we cheated
i believe this is our biggest pumpkin to date!
yesterday was officially the day!
IT REALLY IS HARD TO BELIEVE HE IS EIGHT...
jeff and i watched home movies of when he was just a year old...made me want to cry...he was the sweetest baby, i'm just sayin'
but i am so thankful to have these memories and that goes without saying about scrapbooking too (i so miss doing that...)
you forget the little things
like how he use to cross his legs when he sat and how he danced "with his arms" and his sweet little voice and his pointer finger
gosh, i loved it all
one day "turning eight" will seem like so long ago...
take pictures, scrapbook...or just write it down
you'll be glad you did
i interrupt this lack of bloggin to bring you a
POST...
gasp!
i know, it's been awhile
forgive me...and this isn't even a great one!
but lately we've been doing alot of this
cabin stuff.
and my mom and i get to decorate it...all of it!
we've actually already started
because that's what girls do
plan things.
men don't do that...
i'll show you more very soon
in fact, i'll show you ALOT of stuff...because it's been awhile!
happy monday!
The Skinny: who needs a spin class when you've got the green machine!
and pumpkins
yes, these are plaid
and cool mornings...
a birthday party fast approaching
and a trip to the patch...

deciding on a halloween costume...this is always such a big deal but we may make our own this year
hay rides...
Christmas shopping i'm really kidding, sort of
Season Premiere's
starbucks showin' me some love...
decorating my front door...how exactly, is still to be determined
and long sleeves, shorts and flip flops
what about you?
is the weather changing yet, in your neck of the woods??
you know i've been taking a medical transcription course in hopes to have it completed and a job by the first of next year...if not sooner
so, a couple of weeks my friend joyce called me and said "the lady i'm working for has an opening and i told her about you, that you were taking the course, had some prior experience and you need to call her right now..."
joyce has finished her course and has a job in medical transcription
needless to say, i was excited and nervous and got on the phone immediately
that afternoon i was given a few tapes to transcribe
and i believe it was the next day that i was hired...
just like that
this is my new desk buddy...it's a little old school in the world of medical transcription but actually it's what i'm use to
and boy have i been busy!
i am so excited and it's still hard for me to believe that i have a job...already! i didn't expect to have one until i finished the course and had the "experience" needed to get a job these days! my sister-in-law does this and told me that she knew of jobs that would hire me right now...if i had the experience
yes, i will be completing the course (in my sleep) it's paid for and i will get my diploma!
yes, i am still working at the school
yes, i am still making jewelry
yes, i will try to have supper prepared most every night...ahem..cough, cough..
and yes, jeff you will have clean clothes to wear everyday
i say let the scheduling and list making begin!
when school starts things will be a bit hectic around here until i find my new normal, but i'm ok with that
just glad to be me right now!
it was a pictureless July 4th for some reason?? we never even made our way to see fireworks! what kind of people are we? i do have these that i happen to get of jackson under complete duress
he was a bit squinty
we did however, have a great 4th...it was very relaxing...ate some yummy ribs, made homemade ice cream and played wii
on sunday, we headed north
remember the cabin that my parents were interested in buying? well, unfortunately they didn't get that particular one (and we're over it now) but there was a back up l-i-s-t with plenty of options for us to see
we made a day of it
one of the neighborhoods that my parents had previously looked at has this huge river where jackson could play
this is mr bruno and his wife ann that met up with us for the day...my mom and dad met them last year at the transplant clinic, he is currently undergoing treatment for AML
the covered bridge at the entrance
the water was COLD
it was alot of fun and the river was absolutely beautiful
look what else we saw...
this guy and gal came right up to the house we were looking at! nothing like a salt block and a bit of corn to help out...but they were not afraid of us at all!
i took these very slowly and carefully with my 50mm and i was literally about 20 feet away!
you see all of the trees around? that would bring me to the chiggers, but let's not go there...this post is quite long enough, don't ya think?
no big decisions were made in the making of these photos...so i think we're going back soon!
