Pebbles in my Pocket

 We have been sprucing up Pebbles in my Pocket lately. Though in my head I have many thoughts of needing to simplify. Getting from point A to point B has always been a struggle for me. I can visualize it, but I come up short with the doing. I always have. With Ashlee pregnant with twins and due in January, the responsibility of running Pebbles has to be divided differently if we choose to move forward. I believe it is worth a try.  I feel overwhelmed, but also know with the help of Larry, Katie, Lindsey, Ashlee and our wonderful employees, we can do much to simplify and still keep it open. They are so willing to help and have good ideas. Thoughts of moving our store completely online is also an option one day. I love this market, though I know is is a relatively small one. It has become more a labor of love recently and there comes a point where I need to look at it through different eyes.

Potty training, Chinese, Pebbles #23, Minute to Win It

The one piece of advice I always seem to be encouraging (nagging) our girls to do is to keep up on a regular blog to help tell their story through the years. It is something I wish I had done a better job doing, but in the busyness of life, sometimes it is the more important things that take second place to the demanding, less important.

Cihcken Enchiladas... I thought I had died and gone to heaven 

just sneaking a taste or two.

Lucy loves her Uncle Josh and his hat!

The girls have come to Pebbles a couple of times, after hours to clear out

 and help freshen it up... I am beyond grateful for their help. Lindsey,

Katie and Abby are a very good team and do much better when I

get out of their way!

Larry brought us dinner before we all got to work one night at Pebbles... 

Mi Ranchito Tacos. Can't get better than that!

When the call comes...

And it always does, here and there through the year. There is something going on with the toilet. Life stops, and Larry and those able to help, get going. Today the pipes to the street need to be cleared out with an auger... A messy, somewhat poopy job. A Gelato on the way home was a nice reward from Dolce Amelia. Ashlee's shoes were a casualty in the mess, so Lindsey did what a good sister does. She shared. Love my family.
