There's about a billion things I should be doing right now, but I just feel like writing and I'm going to. Everything else will just have to wait. Things have been so crazy, but there is finally light at the end of the tunnel from all the business and I'm really, really looking forward to it. I'm pretty much done with portrait sessions for the year. I'm selling some of my art work in a local craft fair in 9 days and that is what is keeping me busy right now. But after the 20th, I'm done. I'm really looking forward to this little break to recuperate, work on my house, spend quality time with my son, and I have a few fun projects I going to work on.
It's been really nice the last few days. It's been sunny and 70 degrees which you just can't beat for November. Leon was getting a little restless in the house - he's be banging on the door or running to get his shoes so we could get outside but it had been too cold. I needed the nice weather as much as he did. We took a little walk at the battlefield again the other day. The above picture is from our walk. It was nice to get out and wander. It's still beautiful out.
What am I going to do about Leon this winter? Any thoughts on how to keep a little guy busy during a long winter?
I've been loving being around my Leon so much lately. I feel a refreshed perspective about motherhood and it's made life much happier and easier. There are still bad days (like yesterday) but I feel like I'm handling them much better. I'm loving seeing Leon grow and learn. He's getting quite the imagination. We taught him how to say "I love you" by pointing at his eye, hugging his chest, and pointing at us. It's so cute. He's also quite the little dancer with lots of funky moves. I love to hear him crack up - it makes my world go round. I can't believe he'll be 2 in just a few months. It really does fly by like everyone says it does.
Well, I'd love to keep writing about...well, everything, but I shouldn't. There's so much to do. Hopefully I'll be back to write in a few days.
