august was really nice to me, so no pressure, but you better be nice, too

today feels like a friday to me...not that i ever wish for time to run by me any faster then it already does. but it feels like a friday.

our daughter is moving into a new apartment this weekend.
which means WE are moving our daughter into a new apartment this weekend.
let's see. over the course of five years we have moved her in and out of a dorm room. in and out of apartment number one. in and out of apartment number two and now into apartment number three.
boy
it's sure a good thing we love her as much as we do

our son is going back to school this fall.
he got accepted into the music and recording technology program here in madison and showed me this the other day. i'm hoping that maybe someday, the two of us can create something just like it together.
but instead of drawing, i'll use photos. and he can make whatever music he wants to.
wouldn't that be amazing.
{the video gets really good at about the 23 seconds...wait for it}

Good parents help you move once, Awesome parents help you move twice, I'm pretty sure you're at Stellar status now. Happy Friday, er... Thursday... oh now I'm confused!
ReplyDeletei want to move to a new house and go back to school. hmm wish i was at that age again... but hey age doesnt dictate it, does it?
ReplyDeleteYou do such a swell job of photographing the outdoors (well, everything, really!) that I wanted to share this photo I took this morning in my garden. Not that it's a prize-winning photo, I've just never seen this up close before and I was so excited to catch it on camera that I had to share! Hope you enjoy!... http://imjustmk.blogspot.com/2011/09/mama-wolf.html
ReplyDeleteYour daughter reminds me of my sister . . . . although I've lost count how many times she's moved and family have had to help her. In fact she recently just moved to Bournemouth but now that I live in the US, I'm off the hook!
ReplyDeleteThat is the coooooolest video! Bravo to son for sharing with mom. Lovely sentiment. I'm so very jealous of that artist!
ReplyDeleteBig changes for your kids. Hope they settle happily in.
Summer's fading fast here, too ... September began in the dark hours with a rain storm and wind and a roof that leaks. It will get better ... right?!
ReplyDeletecongrats to your kids on new digs and new paths, once again. :)
ReplyDeletethe video was great. my favorite was the piano tree, of course...
great video...i wish i could draw like that! congrats on the acceptance and cheers to a wonderful autumn!
ReplyDeleteA Mother's work is never done. Moved my daughter to NY!!!! Nothing is easy in NY, LOL!
ReplyDeletevery cool video! yes, they move in they move out, they move around....
ReplyDeletegreat news about your son as well!
and how much do it love that photo?
Really cute and creative video! Enjoyed thoroughly.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your son's acceptance into the music program. Sounds like an exciting career ahead of him.
I've lost count of the number of moves we've helped our kids make, but they finally stopped asking and rely on their friends. I'm too tired for all that nonsense now. :/
I'm so feeling you on the moving thing. Have truck; will travel.
ReplyDeleteI thought newborns took alot of energy:/
Happy weekend...may it be long
and lavish you with sweetness.

Oh, my gosh. That video?
ReplyDeleteWow.
Best of luck to both of your kids. And to you for the move this weekend.
That is amazing. Just what I needed. Thank you for posting.

So funny, John and I thought it was Friday nearly all day today. I moved into my new studio which is fabulous, a loft, a live/work space, so I can hide out there if I want. So glad to hear about Jake going back to school. And sweet Cate :)
ReplyDeleteHappy September.
xoxox
Really nice video!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing what we do for our kids?
Thats amazing! (the video I mean) And good luck to new beginnings for both your kids. And maybe it feels like LAST friday.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome together project with your son...I could totally see it :-)
ReplyDeleteand Happy moving week-end to the family
We helped our son move many times and now we are helping the grandkids!! Ha!! Sigh!!
ReplyDeleteWorking with my son on joint projects is the highlight of my life!
You will have a blast
Hugs

Oh ... my ... gosh! I love that video! Just had to say that.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move. My parents have helped me move quite a few times, and I know tough it was for them. Hopefully after this one you'll get a reprieve for a while. ;o)
Have a wonderful day!
I'm happy your son is doing something good for himself. Will September make you a Nikon owner? ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat video..
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your kids for moving forward (but hopefully one of them doesn't go forward again for a bit!)
I think September is going to treat you, and your lovely loved ones, just fine...
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear about Jack. So so so glad for you, and for him. ;-)
Have a great holiday weekend, Love !
you're killing me with your september hints. you know that, right? but it sounds like september is bringing some new and exciting changes for you and yours, and that's wonderful news!
ReplyDeleteI think September will be kind to you. Am about to take my daughter back to school...Dorm room #4...yikes!
ReplyDeleteP.S. LOVED the video--so clever. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteParents do move our adult children alot don't we? Good luck with the moving of your daughter. So happy your son is going back to school. It would be fantastic to do a video like that one. It was amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning. Simply stunning!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing that video - so cool. and congratulations to you son for getting in the music/recording program. I'm sure he'll create great stuff.
ReplyDeleteyeah i've moved my daughter 3 times over the course of 4 years. luckily this year she stayed in the same place.
I agree...I want September to be as good as August was.
ReplyDeleteWe move these kids more often than we've moved ourselves...I'm sure of it. Just moved youngest to residence on Sunday. Now to move the older one on Saturday...thankfully we're only on move #4 with him!
Glad that you son has been accepted to the music programme...here is to a future where you share your work together!! xox
Such an adorable little movie. I loved the tree the best.
ReplyDeleteI hope the move was smooth. :)
