Back from....

In case you thought maybe I slipped off the flat side of the earth...I didn't.  I tell ya, it's been one thing after another around here.  We had Sophia's birthday and  then we left for vacation for a few days.  All good things and all very fun.  Two days after we arrived home from vacation my parents arrived on a jet plane and have been here ever since!  I've been helping out with a few things for our church's annual Ladies Conference and that has also kept me busy.  Brian is juggling a couple of jobs and a full load of college classes and I'm still not sure where he is all the time because his schedule is so hard to remember!!  HOWEVER, despite all of the activity and mayhem that life brings, everyone is healthy and happy.  I've got a billion photos to share of so many things, well, not literally a billion, but lots.

Now that I've emerged from my time away I'll try to back track and get things up to speed.  What speed is that?  Well, its FAST!!  Its "break neck" speed!!  Its Turbo powered, rocket fired, speed racer FAST!!

And here to celebrate how fast life goes is one of my favorite flower pictures from my backyard.  Next up, Sophia turns 11!!!
