Remember our new car? We've had it less than a week... it gets broken in to in the middle of the night and they took the whole stereo system and ripped out the console... so now we have this big black hole. Stupid thieves... couldn't you at least left the console so we didn't have a big hole?

spent the morning at pediatricians for little buddy's ear infections and then the rest of the day was spent on scout training with my bff Tracy... a long day learning about child abuse and merit badges... my brain is tired!

Getting ready for church... good meetings... a fabulous nap and an afternoon making cookies for friends... I wish I would have taken a picture of the cookies!

It was a wonderful evening... .joined with thousands of women around the world for inspiration and guidance... I went with friends... enjoyed dinner... had a great evening... took my camera... AND FORGOT TO TAKE A PICTURE!!! So this is my lame excuse at a picture. Maybe I'll recreate the moment and take a self portrait with friends later. So lame.

We are now the proud owners of a 2005 Chevy Aveo... my life has already gotten easier having the second car. I know its a luxury but I'm so grateful for it!

p.s. this isnt' really our car... we bought ours from a friend... but when my husband gets home from work its too dark to take a picture... so thanks to google this image will have to do until I can get one of my own... but this is the exact car that we have... color and all.

It's raining and raining and raining... The perfect way to welcome fall... although fall won't make an appearance for another six weeks or so... we're hopeful!

9.13.09 - Sunday

I got done early and tried to get an earlier flight out but no more flights out for the night... so I spent the night in the food court in the airport... I read blogs, scrapbooked and tried to sleep. Flashbacks to when I traveled for CK and spent a few layovers in the airport. Thankfully I wasn't the only one sleeping in the airport and the time passed quickly. So glad to get home!

A quick two day trip to San Diego... went to bed at 10 so I could get plenty of sleep... laid there until 1am when baby woke up and then it was time to head to the airpot at 3am... turned in to a loooooong day!

Sorry Catherine... I didn't see San Diego boy... but I did look!
