Well, here I am. I’m up late editing family pictures, and it occurred to me that I should update my poor little blog. Life has been wonderful. Vegas has been having beautiful fall days for a few weeks now, and beautiful weather has a way of making me happy. I’ve been walking the kids to school to get exercise and also just be in the lovely outdoors. The boys love our morning walks, particularly my little Logan who would spend all of his wakeful hours outside (si, as he calls it) if he could. He runs like a crazy person to the door if you say outside or walk. I love it. What I don’t love is how big he keeps getting. I don’t remember him as a baby anymore, the same way I don’t remember my children at any age except for their current age. I hate that about time – it seems to pass and take with it all my memories. If it weren’t for videos and pictures, I would never believe that my children were ever babies. It’s such a small part of their lives, and I feel so sad about that. Each year is one year that I’ll never get back again. It’s such a mean trick to play on moms.

Jacob’s job at Apple is perfect for him, and he loves it. I love that he is happy with a job. I love that it brings in money and provides for our needs and makes for a happy husband. I don’t like his new schedule that he starts this Saturday, working Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 5 am- 4 pm. He gets a new schedule every 3 months, but we are not in the least bit crazy about him working on Sundays, and we’re hoping and praying that somehow that will change so that we can all go to church together. The boys are praying for it, and they are so cute when they pray, so it has to happen.

I am booked every weekend for pictures until December. I don’t mind having a busy time, as long as I’m not doing all freebies. I’m a terrible business person – I couldn’t sell $10 for $1. I give too many deals to people that I know because I feel bad to charge people that I’m friends with. But I’m a friendly person, so I can’t give everyone deals or I’d make no money.

I hate to be so short, but it’s late and I have to be up early, so I’ll have to catch up another night a couple months from now. At least, that’s usually how it goes :/.
