yoga is yummy

Who IS this girl eating eggs in a hole for breakfast?

That is my baby girl.  I think she grew up when I blinked my eyes.

Today is her FIRST DAY of 8th grade.  Abbi was excited and nervous and sleepy.  Sounds normal to me.  I did not cry this year (usually do!) but it makes me so happy to see her happy and yet, I get a lump in my throat when I really SEE her.  Sure, she has the same long skinny legs she has had since she arrived in this world, and her head of thick blond hair (like her Daddy’s) is longer and she now wears gym shoes and dresses, cause well, it’s cool.  She packs her own lunch and spends waaay too much time picking out earrings.  She talks A LOT and makes me laugh.  But she looks DIFFERENT to me.  She is just more… ABBI.  I love that.  and I love being her mom.  XOXO

as in PEACH-applesauce!

Grandma and Grandpa came over from Ohio today and brought PEACHES!          So yummy.  They were perfectly ripe, so I made this easy sauce.

5 peaches

3 apples

Peel and slice.  Microwave til soft.  Blend til smooth like buttah.  We all wanted to lick our bowls! 

and… look what Grandma brought for Charlie!

We are now officially ready for football season!  Charlie is fired up.  hehe.

It’s been a great day.  Family, being home, and enjoying our last Sunday of Summer vacation.  This week be sure to water your marriage, hug your kids, and stop worrying about stuff that really doesn’t matter.  I’ll try too.  XOXO

Don’t worry about what you’ll say. When the time comes, say what’s on your heart.  Mark 13:11
