Happy Monday, friends! The state of the state for the Lindseys is as follows:
1) Weekend: We had the usual Dirt Diamonds softball game Saturday morning (yea! another win!), and then Skip was struck with inspiration and decided to stop by the mulch place. That led to us spending the remainder of the weekend completing some much-needed yard work.
2) Photos: Grammie had previously agreed to help with some photos of the trio so, after working Saturday and Sunday, we loaded up in the car Sunday afternoon to go to the Botanical Gardens for dance and family photos. Since during the last 60 days we have purchased a) George's school photo; b) Gracie's school photo; c) Lauren's school photo; d) Gracie's class photo; e) Lauren's class photo and f) softball photos, dance photos became a DIY. To really get things off on the right foot, I promptly forgot the duo's dance tights and ended up shooting them from the waist up. We can add full shots on the day of the recital. The gardens are stunning this time of year, and there were at least 8-10 photographers walking around photographing clients.
3) Roof: The impetus for the yard work is that we are having a new roof put on this week. (I'm trying to work up some excitement about this improvement, but I haven't been able to so far.) They were supposed to start this morning but are delayed by a couple of days due to last week's significant weather delay.
Also, the roof was an influential factor in deciding to make the dance photos DIY.
4) Buns: We have the dance recital this Saturday. One thing I learned from the photo session (other than to be sure to pack tights)(although in my defense, I was really tired from the yard work), is that I am rusty on ballerina buns. We will be sporting a bun several times this week in order to brush on my (admittedly limited) bun skills.
Otherwise, the duo are bursting with excitement.
And that's it for us. What is happening with you?
