Let me catch you up on the last 7 days of the 365 Project…

Emma could’ve passed for a fish during our vacation – she barely left the pool!

The seafood lovers in the family steamed crabs – poor little guys!

We had a family photo session on the beach with each family – here was part of the Rode family.  It was Maeby’s first ocean experience!

Our last day at the beach!

When I got home these little guys were waiting for me!  My new business cards from MOO!  They may have your pretty mug on them!

I think I have finally settled on my packaging.  Thanks to the boxes & ribbon from WHCC & the “OPEN ME” cards I made at MOO!

My latest find at the Target “dollar” bin – but these were $2.50 each.  Not bad for five bucks!

And we’re all caught up – until I photograph for today!

We finally made it Corolla!  Here’s to a week of family togetherness!

Well, I hope you all are well-rested with your extra hour of sleep (unless you live in Hawaii, Arizona, and somewhere else???).  I used my extra hour to stay up extra late in preparation for getting ready for our family vacation!  I have deadlines to meet, a house to clean, clothes to wash, fold & pack, and character meals to schedule! As I’m fretting about today, and the next day, and the next, and making a hopeful list of all the things I “need” to get done, I’m reminded of God’s truth in Matthew 6:34:  “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own.”  You may think this doesn’t sound very helpful or hopeful, but go up a few verses and begin at verse 25…it’ll all make sense!

As we say goodbye to October, I’d like to share a few of my favorites from this busy month…

My favoritest of all!
