Worth The Wait

Yesterday's rat race gifted me with three pairs of new shoes. Some knee-high leather boots, some adorable black flats, and some green wedges for next spring.

It was worth it.

I hopped out of bed extra early this morning as it was Sienna's first day of preschool. She was beyond excited to be in the "big class" at Ms. Kristen's and couldn't wait to see her friends and show off her new backpack.


Since preschool is right next door to Matt and Jen's (did I mention my brother and sister-in-law moved here? No? Interesting. They did. From Boise. Matty's teaching at PHS with Brad and will create the most beautiful family picture for you if you're interested. Jen is organizing her new home and doing a fabulous job. We are THRILLED they're here.)

Where was I?

Oh, yeah, Matt and Jen's house. I stopped in there after dropping of Sienna and helped her hang some pictures for a bit. The only downside I see to having a husband who is a professional photographer is that you have a gazillion beautiful pictures to hang in your home and it's hard to narrow it down. There is one in the living room of Sims, their son, that I adore. And then there's the family picture over the fireplace...and the one of Jen holding an infant Sims....and then the one of sweet Lily, their daughter....it's amazing.

My Christmas cards are going to rock this year.

Now I'm back home with a sleeping Austin and no other kids to tend to. It feels bizarre and yet strangely wonderful.

A girl could get used to this.
