Back to School

This picture makes my heart feel like it is going to explode- I so love these boys. Anyway, settling back into routines around here.  The first month is always torture because it takes Austin that long to get back into the flow, change his sleep routine, and un-grump.  He loves school, but it wears him...

Where’s the sympathy??

You know what makes me happy?

seeing the color back in the cheeks of one my most favorite little faces.  Even as it is hurling at me at top speed as he pounces from the ottoman to the couch and lands almost on my head while announcing, “I want to go ride my bike!”

Little Sickie

My little guy woke up puking this morning, and puked a few more times after that.  Now he is sleeping.  I am staying close.  Poor little guy. It’s a good excuse to get a few things done- like this Someone gave me this funky dot fabric a couple years ago.  I LOVE it.  But I...
