yes, in the great southwest we can run around in our bare feet in february. does that mean i WANT him to run around in his bare feet in february? yes and no. i love that he can run between our house & our neighbors house across the street…tearing through the cul-de-sac, riding bikes, jumping on the trampoline, digging in the sand, playing with sticks….but i don’t necessarily love what it does to my carpets.
clean carpet vs. carefree childhood…hmmmm….i think childhood wins.
p.s. we DO start out with shoes each day, but somehow they never seem to remain on the feet where they belong despite my parental pleading…..

zoe has naturally curly hair. i’m envious. her friends are envious. MY friends are envious. she…well, like many of us, feels that grass is greener on the other side….despite my constant urging that she is SO lucky to have those curly locks. she longs for “smooth” hair and often begs me to straighten it. i don’t do it very often because frankly taming those curls and that THICK head of hair can be tough (inherited from both her dad AND from me…our children will likely NEVER suffer from thinning hair…but i digress). so anyways, i got a chi last week. and wow. like WOW. if you’ve never used…you must. those suckers flatten thick, unruly hair in nothing flat. no pun intended. so we straightened. and i swear she has an extra spring in her step today.
but baby, i still prefer the curls….

drip drops…they covered just about everything outside our house today. we had a major rainstorm. it even hailed which is really exciting around these parts. i SOOO wanted to photograph the hail piled up in the backyard, but by the time I was brave enough to go out with my camera, the rain had already melted the hail. :( oh well. brynn & i had a lot of fun watching the storm on our porch. i loved watching her gasp, squeal & giggle as the misty drops flew into her face. clearly it wasn’t all that cold…as we were able to do that & then run inside & cuddle under her soft, inviting blankey. “cuddles mommy.” she said. sure princess. anytime.

continuing to play catchup…
day 17: drew is rolling all over the place. the moment we lay him down he immediately flips himself onto his belly, pops his little head up & observes whatever is going on around him. apparently we are extremely entertaining as he is always ready with an enormous gummy smile & a giggle.
and next…day 18: fun play with light & shadow this afternoon. brynn put on her princess duds & proudly pranced (or really more like clomped…have ya heard the sound those princess shoes make?!) around the cul-de-sac ordering her subjects about. not that anybody listened to her, but she likes to think she is in charge. i got her hair into its first “french” braid today. i’m not super great at it….but we gave it a go. i actually love how it is spilling out and how the lovely light illuminates those fine, stray pieces.
more catching up to come….

technical difficulties…
