little moments

he's getting big. it blows me away that he came from me... 

I love watching him play and explore.

Team work at the Smile shop.
I am glad he wants to be a dentist when he grows up, because she was scared to get up in that big old chair alone...

silly. silly. silly

she is here to make us laugh. truly.

She is also a move and a shaker.

Swim lesson every Wednesday.
Followed by beautiful nap times.

yoga and post yoga coffee dates with my old coworkers-
who came to my class and made me feel pretty stinking supported on this journey.

blue skies and open windows

clumsy mornings where I spill the beans, literally.

A lap and a heart that is full.

On Any Given (Wednes)Day

there is rain, mixed with snow, mixed with sun shine and promises of rainbows.

they play together while we wait. Fifi keeps saying she is getting a hair cut. 

He is so patient and such a rule follower. I am glad, because it makes it easier when it's his sister's turn to go.

 
It pays off and she gets in the chair and even opens her mouth for the dentist!

We promptly break all the rules and have uncut juice and a sugar glazed doughnut.

A visit to Jojo's, glue sticks, crayons, snacks, and lots of hugs and kisses as we leave for nap time. Fifi was asleep before we hit the freeway and O didn't last much longer.

 

Any given Wednesday in March.

over the weekend

Over the weekend we took pictures.

Fluttered in the wind

ran in the fog.

explored at the Discovery Museum

went shoe shopping

Giggled.

Made brownies while singing "where is thumb man..."

played with color

ignored the sorting and noticed the light

Found more color

and opted for naps and snuggles when the house was quite and still.

the week before christmas

Things are growing despite the darkness.

I have found time to go for two solo runs, drink tea and read a book in bed.

There were multiple trips to the bathroom where I had to wait outside the stall.

There was inventory of my decorations.

snuggles on the couch after work

and before work

anarchy at the mall

and lots of excitement for the long weekend and the coming of Christmas!
