Where Has The Mama Gone???

I haven't abandoned Little Bitty Steps.

I've been busy.  Very, very, VERY busy.

In honor of Wordless Wednesday, I present to you a photo summary of where I have been and why I have been MIA.

This is what happens when you are writing advocacy emails and forget that you have put cinnamon toast in the oven.  On High.  For nearly 30 minutes.  

I'm lucky the kitchen did not catch on fire.

And jealousy of my time away from the house doing Advocacy work has reared it's ugly head.  Mini-Me has decided that she "needs help in school like the kids mommy helps" so we had a little bout of pinching and spitting on friends.  This is the portion of punishment that I can share in the blogsphere.  The jealousy problems have since ceased... for the time being (after all, she is a miniature version of me).  

Have I mentioned the Thrilling Threes?  'Nuff said.  

Even with all of that, there has been some time for knitting.  Mini-Me is wearing the Mara (Ravelry Link) I just finished out of Ruca Multy (Ravelry Link).  It is an organic yarn made from sugar cane!

The Husband and I were in Athens for my brother's graduation.  He is UGA's Student of the Year, hence the spiffy red ribboned medal around his neck.  

And my amazing husband took us on a surprise trip to Asheville, North Carolina for a visit to the Biltmore Estate.  Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!  

Please excuse the cheesy grin on my face.  I was wearing two kids at once and couldn't really get enough oxygen to my brain (and I had just finished a delicious glass of wine).

And last but not least, this is the last week of school for my kiddos, so we have spent the better part of this week juggling class parties and end of the year performances.

 My kid is the one in the plaid shirt, just right of center.

And my girl is wearing the pink shorts.  

We are one very busy but very, very happy family!

Love, hugs, and blessings,

The Mama
