A'salaamu alaikum ya'll. I left on Sept 2nd for a long over-due visit back home to East TN. Yay!!!! :-) I've spent time with all of my close family and I've seen my muslim family too. It's been awesome!!!!! My friend Sr. Lisa is expecting a baby on the 19th of this month and her husband had to go out of the country for a couple of weeks. I stepped in to fill-in. :-)
I'm so excited about her baby!!!! Insha'Allah I can stay here a bit after he's born as well although once Abu Bilal returns it will be a tight fit and a bit awkward, staying around a non-mahrem. Anyway, I'm home!!!!
Here are a few pics for your viewing enjoyment. :-) And I'll be back, sooner or later; sorry I've neglected ya'll!!!

| Aaminah and Alex, two of my babies! |

| She's a country girl at heart! PS this is a self-portrait titled "Bare feet" lol |
 |
| Yeah, I was "glowing". It was hot as heck out there! |
 |
| At least 3 generation have swung on that tree! Mamaw (my grandmother) used to have a clotheline strung there. |
 |
| Aaminah and I at 'eid prayer. BEFORE the crowd. This is my chador-e-melli abaya btw. :-) |

| My little sweetheart. Later there was no room to move up there, masha'Allah! |
