blogging is therapeudic for me. i think. . =)

my kids are stoked on frost and seeing your breath. every day for the past few months..juniper walks out the front door.
"i can see my breath!"even though she cant.
"its not cold enough out baby" i say.
but...its finally actually cold out, and the first mornign where she actually could see her breath...she was more excited than getting a new bike for her bday. and..thats what i love about her. She came home that day telling me her friends said "thats boring". I could just see her..blowing into the crisp air.."look!! look you guys!!! isnt that cool??!!!"
I hope she never looses that sense of enthusiasm for the simple things in life. because i believe thats the key to happiness. noticing the frost on the grass in the mornings...






ya..pretty much stoked about my life...


..sleeping "under" the xmas tree..






UM>..my children are watching and identifying different types of birds in the front yard. ive been taking the bin off the birdfood container in the mornings... if you leave the seed out..they will come...ha ha!

i love people that sleepover. muah! only true friends feel at home on your couch. and are willing to tolerate waking up hungover to two munchkins, a cat, and a dog... at 6;30 on their day off!! =)

poor little aedan has been in the hospital for over a week and had to have liver surgery... pray for him!




happy 1st bday bodhi!!!



drinking hot chai lattes in the park...aaahhhh
rain rain dont go away...
im kinda psycho. on some days i think something bad must be coming. because its all just too good. too perfect. i know..thats not cool to even put that energy out there. but.. the thought often crosses my mind. theres a fine line between being grateful and priveledged and guilty for how priveledged you are when millions are suffering around the globe. but ,if im not happy for what i have, then its just wasted energy.
