9/11

Woke up to 9/11 this morning. I think about how life has changed for all of us since then, most especially the families who lost loved ones. Not just the fear of what can happen tomorrow or the worry about the kind of lives our kids and grandkids will have but the little things too. I miss getting off an airplane and having Larry at the gate ready with a hug... that was always the best part of traveling.

It's easy to focus on all the negative things in life, but when we do, that's all we see. I like to focus on the good. I can help contribute to the good. When we focus on the good, the negative falls away. Of course it's still there, but we don't give it power to shape our lives. Of course somedays I'm better at this than others.

Today Kelsie & Abby both wore dresses to school with 9/11 in mind. They have done it every year for the last seven years. It is a special day to always remember.

Grab a Coat... it's September

True... It gets to be 70 degrees and Lindsey starts packing on the layers. Weird.

Our Lindsey surprised us all and went back to her natural brown hair. Breathtaking brown on her! I have been nagging her for years to be a brunette and I am so happy happy happy she finally did:)

I hired Lindsey this past week to help get our family photos organized. She needed a part time job and I just need... help BIG TIME with the gabillion pictures I have taken. She has four years completed and 24 years to go. Where does time go? It seems to be picking up speed with each coming year. THANKYOU Lindsey!
I should have done this years ago. It's like I'm multi tasking at freeway speed. I like this!
