hello monday! You wait for no one.  *sigh*

 hello monday mugshots.  This is my favorite mug these days and the other belongs to my guy.

He's always my Monday morning coffee date. My sister, Esther, bought this mug for him when she was visiting and he won't use any other mug.  

hello coffee with sugar-free french vanilla creamer. You are so needed today.

 hello piles of laundry to be folded. We had an issue with our dryer, but it's all fixed now, thanks to my amazing Marco and YouTube how-to videos. =)  Just a little backed up on folding, but that'll be caught up today!

hello faithful friend. Our dog Oso. He's a mix of Jack Russell and Chihuahua. We've had him since he was a puppy - about 6 years. This is his favorite place to hang out and that's at Marco's feet whether he's watching t.v. or working in his office.

hello senior pictures.  We drove down to Oceanside and La Jolla for a session with Digilife Photography.

I was able to capture a bunch of shots from the sidelines.  The little ones got to play while Hannah was busy posing.

 Ah. This girl. I love her so much.

 She's a little bit of me and a little bit of Marco and a whole lot of something special. 

I love that she's not afraid to be herself.

 hello to new decisions.

hello being honest about my feelings.

hello to the unknown...

This is my life and I wouldn't trade it for anything.  No matter what we are doing or where we are, we are first and foremost - FAMILY.

So there you go. hello monday and new beginnings.

Inspired by my friend, Lee at Embrace Life, Hello Monday provides a peek into the coming week - in all its glory. Join us and Lisa for the Hello Monday fun.
