i'm here.

y'all.

life has taken a 180 degree turn for jeff & i in the last 7 weeks.... like only life does.

and i've been paralyzed! overwhelmed with all that has come to be on my 'to do' list. and all that is not getting crossed off.

but all the important things are together, right? family. health. sweet friends. 

so i try to keep it all in perspective. and that's why the blog has taken such a 'hit' lately. i have so much to say - and so many wonderful pictures to post - but that will have to wait. 

taking a backseat to my 'real life'. 

so....................

saturday before we went on vacation, we had a 'family' reunion at j's parents' house.

b. had fun playing the guitar and aunt 'neesie' had fun loving on lil' miss.

okay - so a while back, j's parents took b. to the circus. 

and he loved it.

and darlene dug out this old costume of jeff's from when he dressed as a lion tamer for a play in elementary school...

and this became b's 'high wire' costume...

here he is with mamaw - the maker of the lion tamer-turned high wire costume.

doing some tricks...

and here is doing the 'high wire'.... love it. he even sticks out his foot like he's trying to balance....

and his 'ta-da' at the end.... 

and just for fun - here's a picture of the hubbs in the costume for his play.  isn't he a cutie? 

and ps- i've always thought that b. favors me - but in this picutre, i think he looks SO much like his handsome daddy!

happy monday night {or tuesday morning}. 

love all of these new shows starting this week.

too bad that won't be helping my 'to do' list.
