HELLO!!! Anyone out there?? I'm Baaaaack!!

Okay, I didn't really fall off the face of the earth but it sure seems like it since it's been forever since I've posted and truly this is the one reason I didn't want to start blogging in the first place. I stink at this!!! I would have liked to have used another "s" word back there but I just got on to my son's friend for using that word so I'm trying to do better myself!

I'm going to upload a few pictures of things that have occurred over the last several weeks so that you can get a feel for what I've been doing.

Soccer practice and games.

Puppy sitting; this is Princess, my friend Julie's husband's dog. The husband was in the hospital for a time so I got to be her fairy godmother for a couple of days and take care of this precious little ball of fur!

Photographing the family picnic at my son's school. I was out there boogying (doing the Electric Slide) with these fun ladies but of course I can't take a picture of myself now can I???

Taking in a professional soccer game (in Kansas City). Yes that's Beckham! I got several really good shots thanks to my handy-dandy telephoto lense and I posted this one instead of the next frame because, well. . . ., let's just say that soccer and baseball players have a lot in common and the next one was just a little bit indecent!!!

Football practice and games. And, yes my DS (#28) is playing both sports at the same time. Something I said I would never do (duh, never say never!). We were going every night for either soccer practice or games or football practice or games. I pretty happy that that is all winding down a bit.

And then there's me playing golf (another thing I was pretty certain I would "never" do, lol!) I was so happy to get this picture so that I could prove to my DH that my head stayes down (sometimes). See, the ball is gone and my head is still looking down!!! A very proud moment, I must say!

And then one of the most exciting things ever. . . . the return (for good this time) of my DS-S from Iraq. This was his second and LAST tour over there and I can't begin to tell you how happy we all are that he is back. And just to share with you how handsome he is I'll provide a close up of him. . . . .

He understandably had a hard time taking his eyes (and hands) off of his fiance so this is the best close-up shot I got. There were other good ones of his face but there was always some-one totally wrapped around him hugging him to death!

I also went on a weekend scrapbook retreat and got lots of pages done. I had hoped to have some scrapbooking artwork to share but I dropped my camera yesterday (yes, I'm totally sick about it) before I got those photos taken so it could be a while before that all gets posted.

In the meantime, take care and post all the replies that you like!
