Joe was home last week on a stay-cation. It was fantastic! We got some fall-cleaning done as well as some projects around the house. It felt great to be productive and also be together. We visited the gym a couple of times together but decided to mix it up and now we have a climbing membership at REI. We went there four times last week and did four different climbs. I think we’re hooked. And I can’t think of a more fun way to work on my weak upper body.

We don’t get crazy crafty around here very often, BUT Cece and I recently made flower crowns for our next Renaissance Festival visit. And these crowns are perfectly wearable for around-the-house activities too.

Lastly, I can’t help but include a couple more photos of this six-month-old and the cheekers that have launched a thousand ships. With Cece in preschool a few days a week I have certainly been enjoying my Rosie time. Ooh, I just love that little girl.
