Home Again

Some of you probably think that I've fallen off the face of the earth. Well, I was just in Maine for a few weeks and kept busy by a couple of munchkins. I had a great time with Heather and the kids and plenty of good memories and pictures to remember the trip by. It was definitely a beautiful time of year to make the trip. There's nothing like Maine in the fall. I've been home for 3 days now and I already miss the chaos. Guess that just means I have to create my own kind of chaos.

Haven't quite figured out what kind of chaos to create besides straightening out the chaos that is our home. Now, Ashton did do a good job of making sure that the house didn't look like it was hit by a tornado. He even cleaned the fridge, with cleaners and by eating just about everything in there. Of course I didn't find that out until the next morning when he said, "So, I guess I didn't prepare very well for your homecoming. There's nothing in the way of breakfast food." Upon further inspection, I discovered there wasn't much in the way of any type of food. We had enough stuff to make do for yesterday, but I've really gotta stock up on food. Other than that, our house doesn't need too much of an overhaul.

In terms of long term plans, I'm considering various options, including looking into doing something with photography, or maybe I'll just be a nanny and/or clean houses. We'll see how that goes.

Well, I thought to end the post, I'd include some pictures from my trip. As Heather can testify, these are only a tip of the iceberg of how many pictures we really took.

Somehow the straws ended up being dumped on the floor.
Mattie had fun playing with them while Liliana helped me take the pictures.


Not quite sure why half of the leaves are missing while the other half are still changing colors, but it made for a good laugh and picture.


Mattie decided this day to share her food with me. Mmm nothing like baby food.


We had a fun day at the orchard picking a lot of apples and looking at the pumpkins. Such a classic look for Liliana.


There was a beautiful sunset one night that made the leaves on the trees look so pretty.



And of course no day was complete without some dressing up.
Liliana would help Mattie dress up, which surprisingly didn't bother Mattie, and then would proceed to create her own attire.
