Last week I had the privilege of spending a few hours taking precious baby El's photo and chattin' up her mama, Brandi. This little one is so sweet, the pics I took could not capture all the cuteness. Brandi and her husband Joe are old friends of ours. This season for them has been such a joy for me to be a part of. All the newness, surprise, and delight a firstborn brings.

The Perfect Friend...
...if you don't mind the fur, the smell, and of course the poop scoop. You will find a friend, my only female companion in this house of boys, always loyal and prone to fits of joy.

Celebrating Smallness
I was exploring the vast realms of the blog world today and feeling a bit small about my own. And then I looked at this...

Sweet Reflections...thanks Kylee.




Last fall, I experienced the best sense of community I have known in years. On Wednesdays I was invited to gather with a group at Matt's cousin Lindsey's house. We would share snacks and watch Project Runway. In that group I got to know Kylee, she is an absolutely stunning young lady with so much class. She is the type that always makes me aware of how loud-mouthed I am, Kenley really brough it out of me too! I have dearly missed this time with sweet friends in the last months, hurry up Lifetime and air the next season! I have been following Kylee's blog and always find it restful. She has a great talent with words and the images they provoke. (her blog is wheelturning.blogspot.com) These following thoughts were prompted by her.
Grubby little hands with my heart buried deep inside.
Collin is at that place in life where nothing is resistible for his tiny hands. They are always marked by the grit and grime of his adventures and latest indulgences. Mud pies, dog fuzz, strawberry juice...the good stuff of our days.
Pancakes with a friend.
Aden has a true pleasure in a mid-morning plate full of pancakes. As he requests his 6th one, he smiles through syrup and butter and says, "I love you." Does it get better than this?
Running free.
Kaleb has long lived in the shadow of an over-achiever brother. On a Saturday front yard race, he was first to finish. He swaggered with pride and a readiness to perform this feat again. He is at a season when his body can do more than he is aware of, where growing strength and youthful clumsiness start to balance again. Happy discovering little man.
Ready.
Ready to debate, ready to reason, ready to challenge. I delight in this Ivy League Professor trapped in a 9 year old body.
