I think I mentioned that Annalie and I were going to Texas, didn’t I? Well, uh, we’re in Texas!

Because we know so many people here, we can’t just take a quick trip. And since all the people we know aren’t in the same city, we have to bounce all over the state while we’re here. We’re starting out in Dallas visiting friends from Maryland, then heading to OMSHville, then hitting Houston (where Troy will be joining us) to stay the night with friends, and finally heading south to spend a week at Troy’s mom and stepdad’s. Then we drive back up to DFW to fly home.

If my posting is sporadic in the next two weeks, you’ll know why.

In addition to my 30 tiny moments hath September: Day 2 photo, tonight I uploaded 53 photos taken over the past week or so. I’m on a mission to catch up. I don’t know if I’ll blog about everything that’s happened lately, but by gum, I’ll post the photos. I know my mom will enjoy them, even if no one else bothers to look at them.

This past April I took a photo every day of some small moment for the 30 tiny moments group on Flickr. I thought this month would be a good one to do that again. Here we go.

Day 1: Breakfast on Snail Mountain with friends. We had coffee (for the adults), milk (for the kids), and doughnuts on Snail Mountain this morning, since Brenda and Baby Bug were visiting and that is rapidly becoming our tradition.

On another note, I have so many photos languishing unedited and unposted on my hard drive right now, it’s not even funny. In addition to the photos I’ve been taking, Annalie has been a shutterbug lately, and has gotten some really funny and great shots. I’m debating opening a free Flickr account for Annalie’s photos and starting a photo blog for her on this site, like Annalie’s friend Lily has on her mom’s blog.

I have so many things I want to write about, like meeting Bonnie and her kids, the not-so-minor plumbing disaster at our old house in Maryland that is going to involve insurance companies and replacing a toilet and drywall and possibly some carpet, and how happy I am to be painting pottery again and how tickled I am to be getting custom orders. But life is happening and we’re days past some of those things and I don’t know if I’ll ever write about them.

Like our trip to the desert to visit Deborah and her kids! Remember how they came here to visit us, and we went to Sea World? Well, we went back to their house with them to visit for a few days, since our husbands were both out of town. We had a great time hanging out with them, and I took a bunch of photos and posted them in Flickr (you can see the ones from here and there in the photoset Maryland friends in California!), fully intending to write more about our visit. But somehow I just never got around to it and now that was weeks ago.

Maybe doing 30 tiny moments this month will help me keep up.
