Family Picture

I feel like I am limping through life right now--talking to 8th graders all day makes me ti-red. And then trying to love my kid sufficiently when I get home makes me ti-red. And so does keeping our house relatively picked up. And thinking about going running--oh that wears me right out. Finley was a very sad kid today and finally fell asleep in the car while running errands--so we slept in the car for almost an hour in the driveway. It was a gift. Ahhh, sleep.

Here's our family picture from Labor Day, courtesy of Victoria. I wish Finley would look at the camera or act like he likes me, but I'll take what I can get.


While this picture is a bit out of focus (dang 50mm lens) I love it anyways.


I hope your Labor Day was Labor-less.

  1. Very sweet shots. I can only imgaine how tried you are. I have to say teaching is one of the greatest gifts a person could give a child besides being a Mom. So to do both can only be exhausting. Thats A LOT of energy.

  7. The beginning of school is always such a rough adjustment. And talking to teenagers (tweens..) IS exhausting! I always come home wiped out and ready for a nap!

    I absolutely love the fence shot with the tree bokeh. Even if it's slightly out of focus, it's awesome!!

  11. I love your hair too! I taught 8th graders once upon a time and they definitely can wear one down. I can't imagine being a wife, mom, housekeeper, and cook while teaching. Bless you!
