{Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real} at August’s End

Another month hurtles by. They don’t seem to be slowing down much in their passing, do they?  This blog should be renamed “Time Flies.” 😉

Pretty

A Cinderella birthday leads to dresses and shoes.  I found a charming pair of sparkly pink Mary Janes for her, and a new set of her favorite dress up clothes.

 

Links to the dresses, and the tiaras, as well as the shoes that you can’t see. 🙂

Happy

This adorable fellow

turned ten last week.

He’s going (dove) hunting soon, and loves mountain biking and kayaking. I just shake my head and know as I did back then that the elderly ladies in the grocery stores were right when they told me it would go by too fast.

Sniff. Way too fast.

Wait–Why is Dino wearing such huge shorts? What was I thinking?

Funny

I didn’t make any cakes “from scratch” this year, but no one seemed to mind.  Here’s what was left of Miss M’s after the party.

Littlest loves piggy-back rides and begs for them from her big siblings…

….who always oblige.  Privilege of being the youngest, as well as adorable. 😉

Real

Our Old Haus went back on the market on the 18th.  We’ve already received an offer and are holding our breath that everything goes smoothly to closing next month. Please pray!

It always was a charming little place, and I don’t like it standing empty. Hopefully in 28 days, it will no longer be so.
