small moments




Silas ... You will be 2 a month from today ..
No longer are you just the loud voice in the background ( well sometimes ..)
But you are becoming a big boy ..with thoughts and interests ...and things to share.
Still not fond of your own bed ..we must work on that.
But so incredibly cute ..and bright ..with the blues eyes and longest eyelashes I have ever seen ...
Every Morning you climb up on my chest ..rest your chin on your hands ..looking up at me with a huge smile and all these little teeth ..and say " monnnny ... thujhoo thhhsst and Me. Juice" ....Sigh :) I love you cutie pie ;)

Open



1~1~11

My One Little Word for the New Year is Open ..
To Begin this new Year With an Open Mind ..and Open Heart
Open for Change
Open for Adventure .. for Growth .. For Old Love Made New ..
Open to take more Moments ..give into less Stress ..
Be Open to Take A Day off More Often ..And Play Hooky with The Kids
And to Listen More Intently ...Even if I have Heard the Same Story
One Thousand Times..
Open for More Laughs ..and Time In The Kitchen..
Open to Be Thankful For the many Blessings that
Surround me in this Simple Space Called Life <3

Happy New Year .. And Here is to New Beginnings , Memories and Moments :)
I'm Open... Bring it <3

Moments Today ..

If you are anything like me .. or have a household like mine you would know that no day begins quietly .. smoothly or without incident.
As a mom of three .. Not to mention being a part time parent to my significant other ... you have to be prepared for some excitment in your day.
We were forced into life this morning at 6:12 am by Fisher. He is not one of the two legged children .. but the wildest of the two four legged ones. He was up .. and something had him perplexed.. He was barking .. howling and bouncing his kennel all over my artroom floor.
" are you kidding me " I was thinking .. hair straight up ..heart pounding and all of a sudden realizing I was desperate need of a drink of water. So down the stairs i went to see what this wild animal could be so upset about. I checked the door first .. no one there. I went in to the room and found him frantly barking at .. himself .. yes , I apparently forgot to replace one of my large mirrors when I was moving things around.
I stood there him looking at me then his reflection and back at me .... Yes Fisher .. This is a very embarressing moment for you . He was now wagging his tail all chipper and happy to see me .. Great , I'm up.
I let him outside and turn around to find the three two legged wonders staring at me ..
" So .. mom , What's for Breakfast ?"
