Catching Up --- New Year, New Challenge - July 8 - July 21

A few days at the beach, a busy couple of days at work gearing up for Freshmen orientation, and then preparations for celebrating Mr. Ellis's fifth birthday (a full post of all of our birthday fun will be up later today) have me a bit behind on our weekly updates. This week is back to work for me and the last official week of summer for the boys - kindergarten and first grade here we come!

52-Week Blog Challenge --- Week 28 - The Most Beautiful Place I've Been
We've done a good bit of traveling and have seen some pretty sights, but I absolutely love the coast of Maine. RA and I traveled there in 2017 for our 10 year anniversary and are headed back next summer to celebrate my 35th, his 40th, and our 13th wedding anniversary. The rocky coast, the cool air, and the spruce trees make Maine an absolutely beautiful part of the United States. Some photos from our trip can be found here...

52-Week Blog Challenge --- Week 29 - My Favorite Movies
I have a few...most are oldies, but goodies.

- Twelve Angry Men
- It's A Wonderful Life
- The Quiet Man
- North By Northwest
- Up
- Indiana Jones franchise (minus the 4th one...absolutely horrible) d
- To Kill A Mockingbird
