Did you have a nice Halloween?  We did!  If you'd like to see what my kids dressed up as, I posted a snapshot over on my facebook page.  It was a pretty mellow evening...which was exactly what I was hoping for.
 
Here's a few favorites from when I got together with my friends Amber and Sean and their newest addition, Harper.  You should check out Ambers blog...it's one of my favorites!  Especially her Awkward and Awesome Thursday column!

Well, hello there July!!  I can honestly say that for the past couple of months, time has been moving at just the right pace.  Not too fast and not too slow.  In May, I decided that I was tired of how fast time seemed to be going by and I needed to figure out a way to make it slow down.  Turns out, all that was needed was an adjustment in my thinking.  In general, I think changing your thought patterns can be a slow process.....but for some reason, I woke up on May 1st and thought, "I can't waste a single moment today" and I've challenged myself with this notion every day since.  Maybe I'm just growing up and growing older, but simply stopping to "take stock" of the passing moments of each day, saying thank you to God more, and limiting the time I spend online, has really helped my days feel more complete.  Do you have any tips on how to make the most of each day?  Or how to make time feel like it isn't going by so fast?  I'd love to know!!

PS--hope you enjoy these photos!!  When I heard there were puppies to photograph, my heart almost leaped from my chest :)  

PSS-  do you notice anything different about the two pictures on top vs the two on the bottom?  That's right, they're twins!!

I love when kids want to include pets in their pictures.....especially their dogs.  I never knew what it was like to have a pup until this past year and even though he drives me crazy, I've come to realize that pets are just furry family members....they're part of growing up and part of teaching kids how to love.
