10 on Tuesday in Pictures

My initial plan was to do this entirely in pictures, as a general recap of the last six months. But what I've come to realize is - much like this blog, I've also neglected my camera. I'm not certain how this will turn out but here goes...

1.

Aiden and his Kindergarten teacher at Graduation

2.

Love this one. I think it's mostly because I can see this same type of photo taken again at his high school and college cermonies.


3.

Parent's night at the gym


4.

Weekend trip to Grandfather Mountain for the Scottish Highland Games


5.

Where everything goes from kilts to costumes


6.

Highland Games Hostess with the Mostest, Missing from photo Uncle Hal & John

7. Wouldn't be summer without a Disney Princess floaty and a trip to Lake Gaston. Thanks Sav, for letting us borrow it!


8.

Lake water consumption - yuck!


9.
First Day of the First Grade

10.

Maybe next time I should retitle the post as Aiden's six month recap not mine. But that's life as a mom, right?

In a Nutshell: Hiatus Over

By now, I'm sure you thought I forgot how to blog, didn't you? Well, I nearly forgot my password. So you're kind of right. It's been 6 months since I last posted anything. Anything. That is hard to believe. But I'm telling you - time flies whether you're having fun or not.

During my sabbatical, it's wasn't that I didn't know what to say but that I didn't feel like I had anything to say that anyone wanted to hear. What I've realized in the mean time is that it's not about you... hehe.

Was that offensive? I'm sorry.

Here it is though: I've missed you, baby blog. There have been so many times when I think Oh, that would be great to blog about. But then when came time to write, I was out of steam or just so tired the humor was no longer there. But I've also put restrictions on what I felt I could or could not write about. There were times when I couldn't write about one thing when I was holding back on another. So, I'm letting that go. I'm writing for me.
