The first week of September I documented a "Day in the Life." This project is something Ali Edwards got me hooked on. Ali documents one day towards the end of each month and includes them in her Project Life album. I decided to do one every four months this year. I took a day at…

I feel like I have a schedule to my week days again. We've got this temporarily figured out…and I fully understand that every few weeks (days?) life will shift and we'll reorganize. But right now, I am appreciating our little routine. Paul is back at work and enjoying what he's doing (hooray!). Together, we are…

Hooray, hooray! We are settling back in, eating delicious meals, loving on our little girl, catching up on Game of Thrones, getting very little sleep and adjusting to life as a family of three.
