:: my honey just returned from “hunting and gathering”…and most of these littles are bumping into each other in the kitchen trying to put all the things away…
and that little william just held a chocolate bar up high and declared, “mom, this must be for you!”
and i’m just so wondering why my children always just assume these things!!!
:: my littles are all out back eating their “bites”…and being drilled by their biggest sis on all of the spanish she’s managed to teach them so far…
and william just piped up with an all-too-serious, “emma, how do you scream in spanish?”
:: that boy o’ mine took his little birthday brother for fries and a shake today…and william is sitting here next to me telling me all about it…
and he says that…
“when i’ya said if i wanted a “large fry”…
i thought he meant one really big fry…
but then i figured out that it was actually a tons of fries!”
so thankful he’s making memories with these little guys!
dear s.j.,
i don’t know…
sometimes i worry that he just isn’t truly settling in…
very sincerely,
me

will and jack
a couple of years ago, daddy passed a little camera on to our little people that he no longer needed for work…
one of the best gifts he’s ever given me!
‘cause every now and again, i pop out that little card all filled with memories and dump them onto this computer…
and it’s just like opening a christmas present…
i never know what…or who…might be inside!
all their little lives…through their perspective…
moments…important enough to them…that they wanted them captured…
moments made memories…
some of the very best gifts they could ever give me!
and some…especially…worth sharing…

dear little people,
so you’ve asked and asked…and asked…“today is it summer?”…“when is it summer?”…“i mean…when does it start?”
tell you what…
sure signs that summer’s full swingin’ ‘round here…
sunshine’s streaming through your window…even past your bedtime…
you’re more out than in…
the washer’s spinning grubbies, grubbies, grubbies…
mama’s spotting new freckles on cheeks and noses…
daddy’s often in front of the grill…
baby’s naked splashing in the wading pool…
you’re tent-staking under gramma’s tree…
oh! and you’re sportin’ these…
semi-permanent (no amount of scrubbin’ will do) dirt tattoos!
see? it’s here!
full swing…swing…swingin’!
very sincerely,
me (your lovin’-the-sounds-of-your-happy-play mama)
dear blog,
okay!
alright!
fine!
so these apples didn’t fall far from the tree…
happy?!?
very sincerely,
me
