The Davis Girls

Confession: I've been sitting on this post for MONTHS. I've had it all loaded up and ready to go; all that was needed was to write some sort of fabulous blurb. Easy, right? And yet, I didn't. For Months. 3 to be exact. Almost 4.

How crazy is that? To make matters worse, I'm not really sure what the explanation is, other than that, well, I just sort of fell into a motivational black hole - which is of course suuuuper lame. I promise to try and do better. Just please... pretend you can't tell that all of my fingers and toes are crossed ;)

Aaaaanyhow... without further ado, I present to you: The Davis Girls! Aren't they lovely? I've known these ladies for ages now and they're all pretty awesome, if I may say so. Especially Kellie (but, well, she's a really good friend and I'm totally biased).

It was great to spend an afternoon with everyone at the park (Red Hill, to be exact) and to catch up with the whole family, who I don't get to see very often outside of facebook.

In For The Long Hall

One of the kind of cool things about staying in the same area for as long as I have is that you get to watch people grow up.

My dad is pretty well known for commenting on this, reminding people often that he remembers them when they were just sooooo tiny. It's a little bit weird that I'm starting to have those sorts of comments too. (I recently said the exact same thing to my young friend Natalie - now a Senior in high school, who I've known since she was just an infant. Even as the words were coming out of my mouth, I was thinking:"I can't believe I'm saying this!")

My dad is rather notorious amongst the Hall kids for mentioning this fact to them; especially now that the Hall kids are in fact, all growed up, and there's an entirely new batch of (really fun) littles running around with that label.

Last November I go to spend a bit of time with some Hall kids - both the grown up kind, and the kind still measuring their ages by their fingertips.

Here they are, the Halls #s 1 & 2! :)
