my loves.

have had a wonderful time in los angeles visiting cousins and disneyland.  this is one of my favorite pictures from our trip.  hard to believe that everyone was this happy after almost 8 straight hours at disney and no naps.

farmer's market.  how i wish i like okra a way other than fried...

weekend road trip!

our new little kitten, snuggly.  we are all in love.

poor snuggly probably wanted to go back to the shelter... we may be too much chaos for her.

my new "dessert" - blueberries, raw almonds and unsweetened coconut flakes.

we definitely tuned in.

all mr. miles has wanted was a kitty who would sleep with him.  was so sweet to look in and see this.

thursday instagram round-up

fifteen years ago, i had my first date with the love of my life.

fall decorating!

first bikes for the boys!  a special treat for getting such good reports from their teachers.

my fitness challenge continues.  give paleo a try.

i love that she has her own sense of style.  and she always accessorizes with her backpack.

they can be so sweet to each other sometimes.

catching up on the debate chatter.

perseverance

he's in the pack, in his bright green shirt.

we windels are not super athletic or all that great at team sports, but we always stay with it to the end...even if it is rough.

hanging out with his friends.

i am so proud of ethan.  he ran his first cross country race yesterday.  my sweet boy may have finished at the end, but through tears, frustration and grumpiness, he ran his first ever mile.  two middle school runners helped him make it through near the end.  i had tears in my eyes for my guy as i listened to everyone cheer him on to the finish.

almost finished!

we have big plans to run together in another week.  even though he had some rough spots in his run, he is ready to do his next one!

very proud of his medal
