I feel like I am just now beginning to emerge from some sort of post-wedding haze. The kids are almost 4 weeks into the school year. India is immersed in her Senior year. She sings in two choirs and is the VP of one, has a demanding course load-including honors physics, which means we have a trebuchet in our future-, keeps her main neighborhood clients happy, and has a busy social life, both off and on-line. Niall and Leith are settled in school, too, and are doing well. I so neglected them during the run-up to the wedding that they had literally no shoes or jeans that fit when school started. The handy part of this neglect is that they are now free to explore the world of young men's fashion. Niall is sticking with 'skinny' jeans, but Leith is going with 'straight'. Niall is interested in military style shirts and performance wear. Leith is very attracted to shirts in a certain shade of bright blue-something between aqua and royal. He is also experimenting with hair gel.

Now that I have a bit more free time, I have been sorting through and filing a year's worth of personal photos while we wait for the professional ones of the wedding festivities. As always, it seems like our life here proceeds at a pace that is hard to process, and sometimes hard to enjoy in the moment. I am enjoying having some time to reflect on it all.
