well...joanna(well actually sophia and ella) tagged me in her blog and
Here are the rules: You must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your middle name. (If you don't have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had.) When you are tagged you need to write your own blog-post and then choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

so here goes....hmmm....

M - mother, i am a mother, i love it more everyday, i love it more than i thought i would....i love being Kael's mum. it's tiring, but it's so worth it. my time with him, as his mother is precious to me.

A - authentic....that's what i long to be. i long to be authentic, for my insides to match my outsides..and for that to bring life to others, to be positive, passionate and alive. so i know i'm not always truly authentic, but i strive to be and i want that to be me.

E -enjoying.....the fall weather, my morning coffee, my quiet times, my son, my husband. enjoying the journey, enjoying the spot i'm in right now.

ok, i'm not sure if that is exactly what i was meant to do..but that has taken me all day..i'm so glad my middle name is only three letters.....

so....i tag: audrey, shelley, and......rachel
that's all for now..off to tomahawk and then michigan for the next week..( and they have dial up still and there'll be no posting i'm sure) so til then.

one of those days

kael is napping and for once i have taken the time for myself. no cleaning, no dishes, no laundry, just me, my journal, my bible, ...reading and now blogging..it's been great. it's beautiful outside, gorgeous sunny weather, some trees still holding onto their leaves.....and crisp air. ooohhh i love it. we've been busy lately,our anniversary , we went to Kansas City for business meetings, and my mother in law and her husband were here visiting. Which is always nice, they spoiled kael and had such a great time hanging out with him. and now next weekend my mum is retiring..so we're going to celebrate with her and i might go with her to visit my grandpa...i'm not sure. anyways.......just wanted to say hello. i know it's been awhile. we are thinking of moving into a bigger place, we found a place we love, it's a house ( and it even comes with a piano) So we'll see what happens, we 'd have to sublet our place first. With mike working from home our little apartment is kind of cramped, but who knows, we're not desperate to move, but it woud be nice if it works out. i miss my friends still. and over the rhine is coming to madison at the end of november. yeah!!! so there's all the news.....kind of random, but here's some recent pics.

another little trip

anniversary. we had our 3rd anniversary on Wednesday and so this weekend, we went up north, dropped off kael with my mom, and we went back to minocqua and stayed at a little resort on the water. It was nice. Not amazing,but nice. And we had lunch overlooking the water, and did whatever we wanted. the best part is that we got to sleep in...(not so romantic but if you are parents you will understand) it was lovely. that's all for now.

a little trip

Well my mom was in janesville this week for some training thing, so me and Kael decided to go visit her. We went out to dinner and took kael swimming at the hotel. It was lots of fun. he liked swimming alot.....he didn't sleep so well. but it's ok now. he had a really long nap this morning (making up for that hour of not sleeping from 3:30-4:30am) it was really col to see my mom for a night and be able to have a good time talking and connecting again. and then this morning i dropped her off at her training and it was at this botanical gardens ..so i wandered around these beautiful gardens for more than an hour, sipping my coffee and enjoying the morning. it was great. so quiet and peaceful and i love being surrounded by beauty. it was refreshing that's for sure. just wanted to share.
