we're spider lovers

Especially garden spiders.

After A While

a newspaper clipping from jenis gma that chloe found while we were moving.. i love it!

"After a while, you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
And company doesnt mean security,
And you begin to learn that kissses arent contracts
And presents arent promises,
And you begin to accept your defeats
With you head up and your eyes open,
With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child,
And learn to build all your roads on today.
Because tomorrows ground is too uncertain for plans,
And futures have a way of falling down in midflight
And after a while, you learn
That even sunshine burns if you get too much.,
So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure...
That you really are strong
And you really do have worth
And yo learn and learn...
With every goodbye, you learn."

Baby Lila!!!!!

She is so beautiful!!!! Born Sept 1st. congratulations matt & jen!!!!

first grade

well first grade sure is different!
man.. i really feel like the baby years are over now!

get up. get ready. go! and juniper comes home exhausted!!! But, that will pass, so i hear.
I miss her soooo much! its so strange that she is gone all day! And, Avery misses her even more.

I can see our lifestyle is going to have to adjust slightly to this new school year. We really have to make time for homework now. yikes! early dinners, bathtimes, and bedtime on TIME! everynight. eek!
