well hello!

i apologize that it's been so long!  i kind of went into a funk of not having too much to say these past few days, i guess.  and my last semester of college classes just started, so my attention's been there and reading love does in my free time. (:  but hey, wanna see a spattering of pics from my last few days at home with the fam a week ago?!  and wanna hear some little thoughts of mine lately??  oh good, i was hopin you'd say yes!

these are from an evening together before paige and i headed back to school.  we went to one of my faaaavorite places, the copper hen, for dinner and three words for you: OM NOM NOM.  that place and it's coziest atmosphere... so divine!  i'm such a sucker for the wholesome homemade in a dimly-lit, mason jar drinking, stringed-light kinda place...

i looove uptown at night.. every tree all lit up!  ^^

and these are little snapshots around home that i want to remember:

baybay guuurl... one of my favorite things: being close enough to sidney to see those tiny freckles she has on her nose and on the top of her cheeks... she's a real beaut!  

oh, and some thoughts.. eh, nevermind.  i don't really have much to say.  but tonight, before you go to bed, tell God one thing you love about Him and thank Him for being God, k?  let's do that together.

oh, one more thing:  i've recently heard from a couple friends that they read my blog, and i gotta tell ya, it's my honor that you, dear reader, are here!  most sincerely!  thank you for being here and following along.  when i heard that, i was (and continue to be) so touched!  

sweet dreams!  peace & blessings, too!
