Hello again!

Welcome to the new face of 

the Deters Blog!

We are still finding our way into our new routine 

for this year.....

Hayden has started Kindy

so he is in school every afternoon.

He LOVES it.

(and he has a little crush on his teacher.)

And when we met Ms.George last night,

the first thing she said was;

"he is such a funny kid!"

Olivia has gymnastics on Monday afternoons.

She is a natural monkey and she runs and jumps and swings

for the full 50 minutes.

And she's flexible like her mama :)

AND Hayden has swimming on Monday nights....

AND he has soccer on Tuesday nights

starting next week.

Whew.

That's just the kids.

I am working with Estee Lauder, again,

in a very part time capacity.

My baby, BLINK Makeup Artistry

has kept me UNBELIEVABLY busy and I 

will have completed 15 weddings by mid-October!!

Ralph has just had his 2nd knee surgery and the

big one is coming in December.

He's a machine.  Pushes though pain and keeps on going.

He's still playing hockey *cringe*

but he loves it so I keep my wife-like comments

about being safe to a minimum.

We enjoyed a whirlwind Summer of camping and sunshine

and BBQ's.....and a new batch of wine :)

There were two special 60th Birthday
celebrations too....

My Dad turned 60 in May:

 Ralph's Mom turned 60 in August:

And now I think I'm ready for it to be Fall.

It truly is my most FAVORITE time of year.

 Plus, with the new season, I am trying 

to turn over some leaves of my own.

It feels good to be back.....

and thank you for not

abandoning my scattered little blog....XO
