I have been quite the slacker about photographing the girls and blogging during the past few weeks.  I’ve had a lot of client logos and websites eating up my time, and have also been in super preservation mode.  Our rental house has a very prolific apple tree which lead me to rediscover my enthusiasm for canning, so I have been busy making juice, jam, jelly, sauces, and halved canned fruit.  It is pretty great.  I’ll admit that between work stuff, preserving, and my tendency to over-schedule myself, I haven’t felt much like blogging.  Also, I have been trying a little better this week to stick to my 30 before 30 goal of going to bed at a reasonable hour, which doesn’t help when days are overbooked.

Today, though, I remembered to grab my camera as I headed out the door to pick Nora up from school, so I had it handy for a few fall pictures as we wandered around downtown Fort Collins.  We had the slight mission of scoping out potential venues for a photo shoot I am doing with a local photographer next week to get some photos for my work website, but beyond poking our heads in a few coffee shops every now and then, all we had on our agenda for an hour and a half was exploring town.  It was so much fun, and the perfect ending to a rather hectic week.  I’d like to promise I’ll be better about blogging next week, but I’m honestly not sure so I’m not going to promise a thing and maybe y’all will be pleasantly surprised.

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. ๐Ÿ˜‚
