Creative Friday--Reunited Edition

Michelle and I have decided that it's a good thing we didn't realize how out of commission she was going to be this summer, otherwise we would have been dreading it. Between her week at Snowbird, Jessie's 18 day visit, 12 days in Oregon and then 2 days at girl's camp we haven't gotten together for Creative Friday since June 18th (which was a Wednesday)!! The only other time I saw her since then was at book club on July 2nd and then for my birthday outing on July 9th. That's just not right!


We were finally able to get together yesterday afternoon around 2:30 for some Cafe Rio lunch and to catch up on everything we've missed in the last month and a half. We didn't work on any projects, we just sat and talked. It was a much needed visit and I'm so glad she's back for good now.


Landon and Lucas were so happy to be reunited as well.


Whitney and Eva did some coloring together. Eva seems so much bigger to me now, she actually felt heavy when I picked her up. Crazy.

Hopefully now we'll be back on schedule for our weekly Creative Friday dates and conversations.

**Do you miss any of your
normal life routines because of summer?
Do your friends travel and leave you behind?**

because of the blog -I feel like I missed out on creative fridays because michelle was gone too!
Dang-
so glad she's home & you guys can get back to entertaining us all with your creative days :)They are such an inspiration.
I am in the planning with wende to start our own when school starts. I hope we can get it to work out.

I love the picture with Eva- she is really a character.

I love Whitney's monster drawing!!

I didn't feel left behind this summer but I definitely have before.

I was missing creative Friday posts too.

I've missed reading about your creative fridays!
I'm glad you guys are reunited!

I have that cheesy song "reunited and it feels so good..." in my head. I totally hear you, my friend here has been gone and busy all summer. I'd pictured lazy summer days with our kids playing in the yard, and mostly I've been alone. I need to get down there for a Friday dangit!

So glad that MIchelle is back and that you can get back to the creativity. Can't wait to see some creative Friday posts.

What a lovely relationship you and Michelle have! I totally miss the "normal" routines and crave some sort of ebb d flow.

That first picture of you three ladies is great!

I had a dream about you last night! How funny! You were being the super nice Jill you are and telling me you miss the old Rachel;. Maybe it's a sign I need to pull my dang self out of this forever long SLUMP I've been in and get on with life! Ha!

Hooray for being reunited!! I've really missed our regular chats, and this last one in particular was sorely needed. Here's to getting back to a schedule! Even though we've had a lot of fun this summer, I totally miss my regular life routines. And for the record, I hate it when you travel as well. (unless it's with me, of course!)

I'm glad you guys got together. I know you have really missed her.

Holly said...

Why am I suddenly singing Peaches N Herb in my brain???

Glad y'all had some time to catch up!

jenn said...

Your picture says it all- your whole face smiles and Michelle's looks tired from a long summer but so relieved to be home and returning to "normal" life! Happy day.

My routine seems to always change with each season. How fun to catch up with Michelle though.

I do know the left behind feeling!
