when you just turned one...
Off we go!
Just so you know, the string on his bow is a ribbon/sash
from one of Annaliese's dresses that mysteriously disappeared a month ago.
Guess I know where that went.
Yesterday I was putting on a new pair of shoes on Aiden's feet and one shoelace
was missing. I knew I bought shoes with both laces.
"Oh, here, Mom, I have it." Up his bunk Andrew scrambles like a little squirrel
and hands me down the missing lace.
Give Andrew a string and you'll make a friend.
It'll turn into a thousand different things.
Green beans?
I knew the sight of this would cause some excitement as Andrew had outfitted himself with complete weaponry on our walk.

Sure enough, he stalked it carefully.


"Can I go in the neighbor's yard, Papa?"


Aimed.... and missed.
And of course had to try to catch it with his bare hands next.
No bunnies were harmed, much to Andrew's disappointment.
The farmer sells them to big chain grocery stores down in the city.
There's just something about stacked wood that's beautiful to me.
Maybe it's all the wood I stacked in the sweltering heat last August,
pausing only to breastfeed an infant
and wait for more to be dumped in our city driveway
and quickly hide it away in the porch before the fire marshall drove by.
Stacked firewood= beauty.

Our baby is also teething her molars. I feel so sorry for them!
Your children are precious! I love the pictures of them running through the field. So sweet.
