Things to be happy about

I needed to write something happy so I didn’t go to bed feeling down after my last post…So here are two things that I am happy about today. First, Kiwi has been looking for a long-term “job” at home that she could do to earn a school sweatshirt. I finally came up with something yesterday that is a win-win for both of us. Today, Kiwi wrote up our meal schedule for the next 3 weeks. She planned a meal per day, made a list of ingredients I needed to shop for, and will be cooking at least twice a week for the month. So there are some good things about having a pre-teen. ;)

Yesterday, I was able to do a last-minute family photo shoot for some friends. I love photography, but my confidence is not really high, and I decided that I was not ready to pursue a “career” with it (even a very part time one)….but I am usually happy to help somebody out. :) I hope that nobody minds me showing off a couple of my favorites. I took 116 pictures (even the family dog jumped the fence and joined in a couple!), and it was tough to pick a hand-full to share. I hope they feel the same way!
