thank you, providence.

i'm so excited! i just found these pictures i thought i'd deleted off my camera without downloading. turns out, i downloaded them after all! providence knew i would need them for such a day as this to give me a bit of cheer.


nick was my faithful lawn boy all summer. to repay him for his kindnesses, i baked him a cherry pie. it was my first attempt, and i have to say, the crust was the best crust to ever pass these lips. i was almost out of regular crisco, so i used the last of it, then a smidge of butter-flavored also, and the combination created some kind of miracle, i tell you what.

later that evening, we went on a lovely walk down by the lake to our secret mystery dock and posed for many a dock-like picture...


granted, it wasn't a giant ocean cruiser that later sunk into the icebergy deep, but it was still fun.

the fog came up to us gradually as it got darker... so beautiful.


tomorrow's the first day of school with kids!! yesterday and today we've had inservices, so it's been all work-related and a little boring. tomorrow will start the fun part. i love seeing the kids again after 3 months off. everyone's so happy to be back and excited. definitely beats the may blues where we all want to kill each other.
well, not literally of course.
what am i saying -- may?! i think it's more like september blues... the excitement's fun, but it's short-lived, i'm afraid.

i'm going to concentrate on enjoying it while it lasts. :-)

How do you manage to take such great shots of the two of you? You have such a great eye for timed photos.
