These two pictures were captured today as i realized how precious each little moment can be, if i take the time to notice. I was cooking, or cleaning, or organizing .... and then i saw it. Sam had made this little "throne" for Mercy (He said it was a "freighter boat" ) and was giving her pillows, blankets, and toys. Mercy LOVES sam, laughing hysterically at him when he comes close to her, and mimicking nearly every word he says. Then, from this noisy, silly crew i looked over to my eldest. She was sitting quietly on the porch talking to herself. She tells herself stories and lives in another worth at times (just like I did at that age!) . I don't know this because she shares her Make-Believe world with me, but because i can see she is in another place when i look at her.






This was a crazy good family day. walking with friends in the morning. Biking in the afternoon!! We biked to fly a kite on this lovely, windy day. True blue sky, glorious fluffy clouds, aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh.... sigh * so lovely!
