Dreaming of Blue Skies

Rain, rain go away.

Come again another day.



I'm ready for more sunshine and blue skies (like in the bubble reflection).

Is it raining where you are today?

Have a fantastic week!

I Heart Faces: "Celebrating Mom" Challenge

I know, I know . . . there's no Mom in this picture.

BUT. . .

without that big dude down there,

there would be no little dude down there.

And that little dude down there

is what helps makes Motherhood so wonderful to me!



To see more images that celebrate motherhood, head on over to iheartfaces and check out all the entries!

On Mother's Day

These moments
are fleeting.

These children are growing
too fast.

This day is a reminder to:

Not take things too seriously. . .

Savor these fleeting moments. . .

and

Love these children like crazy. . .



And to never, ever for one second not appreciate how much I love having them in my life!

Happy Mother's Day!

Outside

We are LOVING that the days are getting longer.

There's much more time for goofing off outside.



And that makes these kiddos happy.

Have a wonderful weekend!

The Toy Box

Dirck's father made this toy box for my boy shortly after he was born.

He's made one of these for all 13 of his grandchildren.

We love it.

He used to joke when Dirck and I were engaged for 5 years, that he was just going to go ahead and make a toy box with the name "Oops" on it.



So glad we could give him a proper grandchild with a proper name.

"Oops" just sounds so silly for a child's name.

The Library

It was a little chilly this past weekend, so we set off on Saturday morning for the library.

They didn't really have any interest in the books (they never do when we are there).

They only wanted to play with the toys.

Today, it was trains and the accessories that go along with the trains.

I managed to snap a few shots of them playing . . . these are always my favorite shots of my kiddos.

Real.

Simple.

Them - just being themselves.



Have a wonderful week!

I Couldn't Resist . . .

Since drooling over my kiddo's new shoes. . . .

(you may remember this post here)

I had to go out and get some for myself.



I got Dirck a pair as well . . . if you see us out and about, we'll all be rockin' the Cons!
