I was with Miss Leah again recently.
Leah has added “blowing raspberries” to her repertoire.

Here’s original shot #1 (the only thing removed before this photo was the soffit along the ceiling). In the next few photos, you’ll see the progression to our current state.
Laughter, part 2

The other night at dinner, a topic of conversation was my husband’s drink of choice, coca-cola. He was asked by our eldest why he drank it if it wasn’t good for him. My husband, in response, asked him why he drank chocolate milk.
Our eldest thought for a moment. He replied, “I think Jesus made me to like chocolate stuff.”
Our youngest then chimed in, “Jesus made me to laugh!”
My husband and I couldn’t argue with either one!
I’ll be posting again on Tuesday. Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

My two boys love their older cousins.
Here they are with one of them (who’s tickling them mercilessly!) – can you tell they like him?!
How do you make a window??

Practice

…makes perfect or at least better!
The first coach pitch game was three weeks ago Saturday. It was a raining and a little miserable (maybe more so for those watching!).
My eldest struck out both times up at bat. He was so upset!
Choosing time

So, after I wrote yesterday’s post, I was almost immediately given two more opportunities to practice living in the moment and enjoying time with my boys (doesn’t it often happen that way?!).
Opportunity #1 – my first grader woke up sad, saying that he thinks about me during the school day, misses me a lot, and wants to come home to be with me. Was he trying to get out of going to school? Absolutely. But…the day was perfect for it – no one to pick up (from his class) in the morning, no one to take home after school…and our electricity was scheduled to be off from 9-3 (translated – no television or computer). We dropped his younger brother off at school, got a coffee and a hot chocolate, and then went home. We played games (UNO being a favorite!) and enjoyed uninterrupted time together – I loved it.
Time…

making the most of it. Often, to me, this means multi-tasking and with 10 minutes here, half an hour there, cutting down the to-do lists (I don’t know how I generate them, but they seem to multiply in my possession!).
So while all this coach-pitch is happening, my youngest and I have…time.
Sometimes this time is spent in the car (several cold and windy days!);

other days the time is spent outside.
