  1. Being awakened this morning by my mom and dad calling...lovely to talk with them first thing... 
  2. A morning spent with great friends...
  3. Laying in the park today, air warm, smelling of grass that's drying, Luke snuggled up close to me, listening to Zo play close by, watching the clouds go by, including a huge one that we (Luke and I) decided looked like a whale would look if it were swimming over you
  4. Luke looking deep into my eyes and telling me the color was "orangey-brown" (otherwise known as hazel)...
  5. The cushions on our chairs that we sit on out on the deck in the evenings have been away to be dry cleaned, but they are back. And so white! (It's been a couple years since they've been cleaned.) Yay cushions. We've made do out there without them, but it hasn't been comfortable...

Happy weekend!

XOXO

  1. After-dinner-treats with Daddy...kids both ate all their avocado and cherry tomatoes and peppers and watermelon and paleo pasta...so nice when I can get lots of good food into them!
  2. Zo up super super early, but snuggling up in bed with us so sweetly...
  3. Friends at the monkey park this morning...oh, and Zo went across the monkey bars swinging from one hand to the next...the first time I've ever seen her do that...
  4. Work projects with friends this afternoon...
  5. Reading to the kids before dinner and at bedtime...library books before dinner, Herbie and Lottie books before bed...

Preschool orientation tomorrow...big day...

XOXO

  1. Water and some kitchen utensils on the deck...nothing's more fun...
  2. I am loving the friends I'm making here in Steamboat...
  3. My husband volunteering to go to the grocery store on his way home from work whenever I need it...this is nothing new, but so grateful for the help, always...
  4. A walk after the kids went down this evening, me and Newton the boxer...last month when I was doing walks at 8:30 or so it was light the whole way...today I was making it home in the dark...I love how things like the lengths of the days change so gradually and yet also so dramatically...
  5. Beautiful "art letters" from my mom—one for each of the kids and one for me as well. What a delight these pieces of snail mail are...thank you Mom!!

XOXO
