A Little Asside....

You know.... I'm not sure I ever made this public before.

But if you're interested, this is where all my photos used to go to live.

(Actually... I kinda completely forgot it exists. Does anyone else have that trouble? There are just too many little nooks and crannies involved with this whole internet thing and after a decade and a half of using it, I've started forgetting where I've stowed all the old stuff. Bleh.)

Less of a Case of Falling...

... more of a case of diving. Off the wagon, that is. The blogging wagon. (What other wagon could I be talking about? Hmmm?)

Anyhow.

*sigh*

Just as I was getting the hang of doing something resembling regular(ish) blog posts, everything exploded in busy-ness. You would think by now that history would have taught me the proper lesson: when you keep loading your schedule up, eventually, something gets left undone (in high school, it was math homework. And history. And really just homework in general).(Wait. How did I manage to graduate again?). Now, it's blog posts and other projects (please, no one ask if I know how to sew yet. I'm supposed to be learning...)

In a way, you could just say I took the summer off (nicely overlooking the part where this little break was never intended).

But ok. I'll cease rambling and proceed with the first step of catching up ('cause when I say "busy", you should actually be reading: "Leah had a lot of adventures, took a million photos, and hasn't quite had the time to sit down and think about any of it")

So rewinding back to June... June, as we all know, is a month punctuated by two major milestone celebrations: Graduations & Weddings. A lot of young friends graduated this year, including this lovely lady: Jessie.

Here's a little peek at her senior photos which we took during a super whirlwind of a romp through Knott's Berry Farm - one of her favorite places :)





















For the record... that ride made me sick. :(
(Seriously. I was so dizzy at the end of it! It's much worse than it appeared at first! Just look at the little girl in the background! She has a look of sheer terror! I'm not quite sure why Jessie's smiling. I was screaming, while clicking away {I'm soo good at multi-tasking} )

But ok. Onward and Upward. The last thing you should know about this day has to do with this little man, who was possibly the most adorable kid I saw there:



His backpack is bigger than he is :)

That sort of thing just makes me happy.

Stay tuned next time as we time machine forward to...yesterday! (And then zoom back to June so I can continue this catching up business. We still have a wedding {or two} to revisit).


Till then.
