The Journey

I think my little guy is getting big too fast! I know these PJ's fit him just a minute ago.
My sweetheart teases me about wanting another baby. I don't, but I do wish I had a time machine and could just go back for a moment every once in a while and enjoy those hours of infancy, and toddlerhood all over again.
I love each and every stage they go through and always rejoice when I realize they've entered a new one.
I currently have one entering the years of dances and youth conferences away from home, another going into the teens, another on the verge of middle school, etc, etc, etc. Progress never ends, the "stages" of life last until this earth life moves to the next.
Enjoy it as it goes. It's not the destination but the journey that makes the difference.

Shocked

Amazing things happen sometimes. Like today when this guy came and actually put his arms around me. At first I didn't know what he was doing. He DOES NOT hug! But he gave me one today. Voluntarily! Wow!

Proud little Cub Scout

Due to illness one of our little men missed scouts last night. MUCH to his dismay. They were building something, he didn't care what it was, he just couldn't wait to do it. He has been looking forward to this meeting for weeks. Thanks to his awesome scout mother he got the kit and this morning built a pencil box before he left for school. Feeling much better I might add. Yea!

The Haircut

I've heard about bets of how long it would be from the time Dad got home until we gave a certain major haircut. If it hadn't been for the play it would have been much earlier, and not because Dad wanted it, because HE wanted it. He actually asked for a military cut but his mother was too attached to the long hair. Keeping it this long was my idea, not his.

The Annoying Orange

My boys LOVE the annoying orange. Before I had ever seen an episode I think I had heard every one. From my youngest to my oldest they all know all the voices, all the annoying little catch phrases, everything! But when I walked into the kitchen and found him sitting on my counter... Well... He grows on you after a while.
