catching up

wow, the first time in 2 years of blogging that i've missed an entire month.  in some ways, it is good, in others it's not.  i have been stepping back from my laptop some...i've been having to work a lot more than i had in the past, so the time i have at home i really want to take advantage of it.  my laptop often remains at work during the week and in the rush of the evenings i only get to hop on usually on my phone and even then i find other things i need to or want to do.  but i am sad that i haven't been keeping track of the little things.  since this is the only way i'm documenting things, i need to actually keep up with it.  this year i did decide to do 365 days of photos through instagram instead of 52 weeks of photos.  i like that 365 means documenting all of the little things and sometimes it can have people in it, sometimes not...it was a good way to take on this year that has become busier than i ever thought it would.  


here are a few things that have been keeping us busy over the last month or so.
