Reunion 2011
Yesterday Sydney came back home to us and today both her and Maggie are getting reacquainted. Just this afternoon we spent some time outside and Sydney was able to soak up some sun, Maggie tried eating dirt and 9 flowers and I did some weeding.
In my baby book my mom did an amazing job of writing things down about what I was up to every month or so and this morning I read about me at 13 months helping in the garden, eating rocks and playing with our cat Buoy. I also was pretty good at playing with my toy carrot at the pool and falling into my mom’s arms to get it and a proud, picky eater. All of that sounds kind of familiar.
Yesterday was my dad’s birthday and my parents happened to stop by for dinner before they went to a concert. Mags gifted Flipper with the best thing in the world ~ a tarp!! He was beyond excited. All kidding aside, his reaction was super sweet, telling Maggie that he was going to ‘save’ the tarp so they could work together to set up a fort next time she comes to visit, using chairs and tables alike.
Not much more to say, except we’re getting ready to celebrate somebody’s first birthday. Any idea who that might be?
A Smattering of Photos
On my desktop I’ve got some photos that have been sitting there for weeks, if not months, waiting to be acknowledged or at least dealt with. I tend to keep my computer space very clean and organized and so having these photos on my desktop is somewhat annoying to me. Today is the day that I’ve decided to do something about it.
Sometimes when I look at the random photos it feels nice to see faces of people that I love or places that we’ve been that I’ve forgotten about. Other times it reminds me how much of a growing, big girl we’ve got and every cliche in the book that goes along with growing children.
Sometimes the random pictures capture moments of tenderness and sweet friendships developing.
Other times they capture moments of captivation ~ mixed in with running gloves and PJs.
And then there are those times that are just plain self-centered and nerdy.
