Blink

Lately it seems as though I blink and this happens...




I find myself answering questions or telling stories and saying "last year" and then realizing it was 2 years ago. It is the oldest saying in the book - kids grow up so fast. But why does it have to happen to my kids?! Im amazed at so many of my friends who are rushing their kid off to full time preschools and arranging for all kinds of classes and baby sitters. All I want to do is be with them. Listen to their stories, watch them try new things, and show them all I can. Oh, I love them!

Ahh, damn it - they are waking up! Did I mention I love them napping as well?!

Cutie

Two questions for today:

1. Does it get any cuter than this?

2. How can something so cute be so fresh?!

Our Spot

The first time we went there it took us about 30 minutes to find it. Nestled amongst clothing factories and distribution centers is the cutest little duck pond. It has a few benches and some platforms for fishing. It also has an old caboose painted a shiny red parked along side the pond, perfect for climbing and pretending to be a conductor.


We have never invited our friends and we rarely see anyone else there.

It feels like our secret spot.

Today we had a great time despite the wind and one greedy Canadian Goose. He took a few bites from a roll while Drew was holding it. A little too close for me, although Drew and the Goose seemed just fine with the arrangement.

We quickly retreated to the platform and fed the ducks from a safe distance!
