Baguettes, kindergarten, foxes and fires
A pretty special week with the start of Kindergarten! And also:
- Luke telling Grammy and Papa about his first days at school: "Well, I like it. Except lunch isn't long enough." (For those of you who don't know him, Luke takes absolutely forever to eat...)
- A beautiful red-and-white fox prancing around our circle during breakfast on the second day of school...and kids pretending to be arctic foxes later that day, building dens out of pillows, rubbing their heads on Mommy's arm in a show of affection, etc.
- Daddy doing the morning school run twice
- Hot springs with a super-friendly gray cat that charmed the heck out of the kids
- Intraplanet Janet is the bedtime song of choice these days...and Miraculous and Hot Wheels racing the screentime choices...and lots of library books on the couch...
- The kids have set up their new iPADs so they can FaceTime Papa anytime...
- Hot around here right now and fires raging around us, a lot of smoke in the air although we are not in any danger
- Bubs and Daddy working on the Jeep while Sis and I had a girls day at the farmer's market and "Smell That Bread" where we got one of the best baguettes ever...oh, that baking bread smell... And on the way in the warm sunshine there is a little creek and there were rainbow trout hanging out...they're so spotty and shimmery in the sun, and one of the bakers brought us over some bread so we could throw crumbs to the fish which had Sissy squealing with delight
- Thomas the Train toy that came home to us after 90 days in the hotel's lost and found...kids love it...
- Golden moon rising while putting Sis to sleep...love holding the kids' warm little bodies close and having that time together as their breathing slows and they drift off to sleep...
Love our life...
XOXO
