A Change of Pace

I am in Missouri this week, babysitting my 2 year old nephew and 5 year old niece. Ten days of stepping back YEARS in my own life of 6 a.m.wakeup calls and bed time giggles and story time.

The joys of childhood's innocence! There is nothing quite like that wide eyed wonder of falling leaves, spider webs, starry skies and making pancakes!

Today we spent the day at a working farm with barn animals, a place we use to take our own kids 15 years ago when we lived here. A dry, sunny Indian Summer day, and perfect for our picnic too!

I captured lots of great photo shots (even showed my niece how to get a great pose! She took this photo of me) - and we enjoyed a visit with grandpa and grandma in the afternoon.

Even though this is an exhausting pace,it is a wonderful change of pace, and one that I am thoroughly enjoying! Read more below...

Although I am on a bit of a working "vacation", I am ALWAYS in the fight against breast cancer, and reading, researching, and collecting all of the information that I can.The month of October has no shortage of resources!
