plain or peanut?

I bought m&m’s at the grocery store earlier this week. 90 calories in the fun size (personally i think the bigger packages are more fun). the perfect solution to my sweet tooth…a small snack just to satisfy me. nope, i ate five packages and proceeded to lose all self-respect. and i still can’t decide if i like plain or peanut better. how about you??
winner, winner, chicken dinner.

we had a great weekend being with family and celebrating my grandma’s life. i loved hearing how other people remember her, the impact she had on their lives, and celebrating her life. A simple life, but one lived by consistently loving others well. I want to be like that.
One great thing about memorials, is they bring families together. The cousins had a ball, as usual.
We got to help my sisters (aka aunties) move into their new (darling) house.
David was showered with lots of love and attention.
We had dinner at Old Spaghetti Factory in Fullerton, which is located in the old train station. The new train station was built right next door, so we went out to watch the sun set and the trains come in. The kids loved it!
It was also so wonderful to see my cousins, aunts and uncles and extended family we don’t see nearly enough. And their kids *gasp are so big!!
Thanks for all your comments on fall. I feel the urge to go buy pumpkins and cider! I’ll plan to choose a winner (through a randomly generated number) in the next couple days.

labor day was a great, relaxing day.
we went over to morro bay for pancakes
and a walk along the embarcadero.
the boys drooling in the toy shop.
thankfully it was closed.
tuesday matty started school and loved it.
david’s got a cold and so he’s been home with me all week.
tomorrow we have the team meeting to discuss his placement–
i’ll keep you updated.
then we head to orange county for my grandma’s memorial.

letting go *just a bit
September 2nd | older posts
steve told me i have been holding david’s hand too tightly. i need to hold onto him more loosely and give him less support. he is walking great and really just needs a hand to guide him and maybe catch him if he starts to stumble. i am so used to holding his wrist tightly to make sure he stays balanced and to help him along.
isn’t this the hardest thing…knowing when to let go just a little?
inspiration for a monday.

trying to look at the details and the simple things.
this little flower seemed so sweet and content…
summer is ending and i feel a little sad.but i know pumpkins and sunflowers are coming which, sounds wonderful!
a row of colorful pitchers, some new, some oldlined up on our kitchen window sill…
i gave some our lamps a boost by putting them on top ofold, painted wooden boxes.
i’m trying to see our home in a new,
fresh way and make little changes to keep it fresh and fun.
so, what’s inspiring you today?
