yes, I'm still here

Yes, I'm still here.  It's been a crazy last month and really, it's just going to get crazier until January!  Oh wow.  I've been working like mad on Halloween things for all four of us, and prepping (and going on) our annual vacation.  I'm back now and should have some good posts coming soon.  I don't know how regularly I can post due to all the craziness, but please bear with me.  :)

Here's what I've been up to.  Keep in mind, all these pictures were only from last week.

Halloween related posts coming soon!
