I'm still here.

I have this habit of going on vacations and, with all the craziness of packing and preparing, forgetting to mention it.  I did it again, but I'm back after 3 1/2 glorious weeks with my parents and sisters and their families.  This is when being a stay-at-home-mom is so fantastic!

I came back to an overgrown jungle out back, thanks to a tropical storm and regular summer rains.  It's been exciting to dig out the weeds and overgrown grass and get to the good stuff.

Here are the fruits of my labor yesterday, some lovelies for my dining room table.  My boys (5 and 3 - hubs is away) and I totally lit those candles for a candlelit dinner last night.  :-)
