Little Handprints
This blog won't capture the major milestones of life. Instead, this is the place where I hope to capture the little day to day realities of life...the little things that I want to remember when the little handprints have faded away.

Book 25
This also marks my reading goal for the year! I was going for 25, and now I'm excited to see how many I read this year!

A Weekend of Happy
I liked book two far more than book one, and I'm anxious to see how the saga ends in book three!
I can't wait until this girl is published. I will be at the launch party.

Happy Birthday, Issa!
The flowers were each drawn by one of us, and she drew Inks:
I honestly think Evan's pitcher plant on the far left may be one of my favorites. Friday night she cooked her own favorite meal and we had a quiet night.
Saturday we went to Antonia's for lunch, where she opened her new camera from Nana and Aunt Shannon:
We spent Saturday afternoon shopping for her first black cocktail dress for ring dinner this fall. We finally found the perfect dress but didn't take a single picture. We did have some good laughs about some less than perfect dresses.
18 was a great year for Issa, and I have a feeling 19 is going to be even better.

Feels Like Fall
We had a lovely weekend doing as very little as possible. Issa came home for the holiday weekend, and we did one last round of burgers on the grill to celebrate the end of summer.
I spent a lot of time in the backyard with Bella and my book:
The weather finally feels like fall is coming, and Bella is loving being outside. I put the pumpkin on the front door and did my first fall manicure. It's time.
I think Evan and I will take the pool down this weekend, and I think that will quickly be followed by a fire in the fire bowl and full dive into fall.

Book 22 and a Weekend with my Boy

Book 21
Given the context of our world, it explains a lot, and it certainly is a handbook for playing the game. I'm just trying to think about how to play it for the greater good.
