Been a while since I've been here, I know. 

Life has been incredibly busy.

 Kids have been doing pretty well in school. 

Oldest joined the life of middle school and is taking orchestra for his elective... Playing the cello and liking it.

Haven't gotten anything done in the sewing/crocheting/painting department. Part way done with the kitchen though. Upper cabinets painted a nice white, have the two doors above the fridge and one on the cabinet near the sink. And then I have the cabinets on the bottom to get done. I have never EVER taken this much time to paint something. 

I drive myself nuts sometimes. 

Life is just busy and maybe one day things will slow down. Until then I will do my best to just breathe and smile.
