me and you
10 years.
I'm not sure how this ever offically became "our song," but I do know that you are the YOU that's just right for ME.
Happy 10th anniversary, Keith. I love you!
to catch a bird
When I was a little girl, my Sweet Pea used to tell me that all I had to do to catch a bird was sprinkle salt on its tail. I thought that maybe the salt on the tail would keep it from flying. I spent hours in her yard with her saltshaker, running after birds. I don't know when I realized that technically, if you could get close enough to sprinkle salt, you would be close enough to catch it. Or when I realized that it was a fabulous way to keep a child busy.
I thought of her today when I was close enough to sprinkle salt on this little bird's tail.
Mama and Daddy cardinal were trying hard to encourage their baby to fly. As much as I wanted to scoop this fuzzy baby up and help out, I left it alone like I knew I should. Even so, it was fun to get close enough.
No salt needed, Sweet Pea!

beautiful day
The first day of summer vacation, and...
* {K} and I worked in the yard
* the boys played for HOURS in the sprinkler
* our neighbor brought us some homemade pasta
* we ate sandwiches and popsicles on the porch
* I napped with {s} while {K} and {p} played Lego something-or-other on the Wii
* we took the boys fishing, and they were biting!
* everyone had a bit of late night ice cream
* one boy is now asleep, and the other is on the way
* it's been a WONDERFUL day!

bittersweet
We have been blessed with another wonderful year of school for both of the boys.
{s} loved Miss Roslyn and Miss LaDonna to pieces, and looked forward to school almost every day. I don't know if that happens too often with 2-3 year olds. We're going to miss them!
{p} simply had an amazing year. He really opened up to Mrs. Donaldson. She discovered his interests quickly, and encouraged his passions for science and reading... often letting him bring home "extras" like special books, a microscope, etc. He blossomed this year, and it has been so fun to watch. Tomorrow is not only his last day of first grade, but the last day at his school. Next year he'll be somewhere new. Always one to be sentimental, tonight he told me that he was a little happy but also a little sad about the last day. Then he asked me if I could pray for summer to go by really fast, and tomorrow to last a long time. Definitely a bittersweet moment in time for him.
