Home today. Gone tomorrow.

Just like that - in and out. It's all good. Heading to the sunshine state - hurricane central - AHHHH. Hoping I can be in and out of Florida before anything else comes their way. I am such a fair weather girl. Sun, rain, snow - that works for me. A bit of a breeze here and there. But once you get into these places with floods, tornados, hurricanes...not too sure.

And it never fails that I start to feel super creative right when it is time to leave again. I came home with some cool stuff - all piled up on the dining room table - just begging to be played with - calling my name.

And someone else has been calling my name: Simon. The dude is talking like there is no tomorrow lately. Cracking Chris and I up regularly. One of his favorite things that he learned is Mommy Ali and Daddy Chris. Doesn't bother us about the first names - heck, with him, any words and recognition are awesome. The reports from school and his speech therapists are that he is now engaging them in coversation (rather than the other way around) which is a huge leap from the past.

And he is just so damn cute. And tan. He has Chris' handsome olive coloring. Someone asked recently what Chris' ethnicity is - he has a European heritage, nothing that would really indicate where the beautiful dark skin came from. His Dad has the same complexion but a completely different build.

Lots to do today before I leave TOO EARLY tomorrow morning - long day of flying across the country. Making a few last minute adjustments to my color class. Doing laundry. Running to the post office. Dreaming about scrapbooking. Getting pumped up to be around people that love scrapbooking as much as me - that is really one of my favorite things about traveling. So amazing.

So peace out again my friends. If you emailed me recently, thanks, and I am a bit behind so look for something in the next week or so.

Oh yea, I get to hang with Donna. Watch out Orlando.
