 This week has been about sinking into home again. Wandering is wonderful, but finding rhythm feels even better...

cooler weather, oh thank you thank you thank you...

which means knitting again...yes...

an impromptu Halloween party with just the four of us, complete with yard decorating, monster mashing music, crazy owl crafts, cobwebs, monster toes, and a homemade Halloween cake :)...

listening to a girl and her daddy play a piano and poetry game...

my blogiversary

The Cobra Weave Bomb--oh yes we will! And here is how if you want to too...

M. at bedtime: "mom, you don't understand! my eyes are choosing not to close!"

 the special connection between a boy and his grandfather

And This Moment with Amanda...

Have a beautiful weekend friends!!

  1. how fun to have an impromptu party together.
    that's a great shot of a web.
    "my eyes are choosing not to close!" - excellent.

    what a gorgeous camera. film's expensive though isn't it? worth it?

    we've also been refinding our home rhythm, it's so good when it's there.

  9. First of all, that first photo is amazing! I love sitting back and enjoying as your photography gets better and better. Not that it was ever lacking! Perhaps one day I'll actually take time to learn new things about my camera and photography. On the list!

    I love M's bedtime line, and the idea of a piano and poetry game. I can only imagine the creativity that involved! Also, families that have impromptu parties together are probably the best kind of families out there. That sound so fun, and I can only imagine the memories made for M and E.

    Happy weekend! xoxo
