I feel like I am limping through life right now--talking to 8th graders all day makes me ti-red. And then trying to love my kid sufficiently when I get home makes me ti-red. And so does keeping our house relatively picked up. And thinking about going running--oh that wears me right out. Finley was a
very sad kid today and finally fell asleep in the car while running errands--so we slept in the car for almost an hour in the driveway. It was a gift. Ahhh, sleep.
Here's our family picture from Labor Day, courtesy of
Victoria. I wish Finley would look at the camera or act like he likes me, but I'll take what I can get.
While this picture is a bit out of focus (dang 50mm lens) I love it anyways.
I hope your Labor Day was Labor-less.
Very sweet shots. I can only imgaine how tried you are. I have to say teaching is one of the greatest gifts a person could give a child besides being a Mom. So to do both can only be exhausting. Thats A LOT of energy.

ReplyDeletei don't think it's out of focus. we call that creative, sister.
ReplyDeletei love your hair. i'm getting mine cut tonight...not that short, but short.
Beautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteThe beginning of school is always such a rough adjustment. And talking to teenagers (tweens..) IS exhausting! I always come home wiped out and ready for a nap!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the fence shot with the tree bokeh. Even if it's slightly out of focus, it's awesome!!
He is so sweet, even if he isn't into pictures right now, these are lovely!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures!! My son *hated* the camera at that age too. You'll look back on these pictures and smile at this stage of his. =)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I love your blog layout too!
ReplyDeleteI love your hair too! I taught 8th graders once upon a time and they definitely can wear one down. I can't imagine being a wife, mom, housekeeper, and cook while teaching. Bless you!
ReplyDeletewhere did that blonde hair come from?! so cute.
ReplyDeletelook how adorable ur hair is!!!
