hiatus

hiatus/hahy-ey-tuhs/ noun. a break or interruption in the continuity of a work, series, action, etc.etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. whatever it's defined, we have had it. i suppose as with most, summer means vacation, vacation means beach, beach means sandy laziness, and the return home means a more postive outlook on the routine of our daily lives. unless, that is, when the return home is followed by a feisty attack of appendicitis on a wife who does not like going to the hospital. definite interruption in the continuity of work.

i thought about photographing the whole fiasco, but i didn't imagine it would go over well... especially after my jokes about whether or not she wanted to sign a DNR at the emergency room failed miserably.

nonetheless, our happy little family is back, refreshed, renewed, and less one cranky appendix. (thank you Dr. Rogers!)

and so i begin again. now thinking thoughts of august. the majestic month that brings backpacks, new tennis shoes, sharpened pencils, new beginnings, and big adventures....

it's a great time for grabbing your own camera and catching those first day of school jitters and excitement... you remember... that picture on the front porch, school bag in hand, new shoes, new clothes, new everything. snap away august. or call me.... i'm always up by at least 6:30 ... plenty of time to get the wide-eyed excitement of a brand new year.

pencils ready? the hiatus is over!
