wishing

we have been in full throttle mode. there never seems to be time to slow down as there is nothing i want to miss out on. i almost think that this feeling is 10x worse for a kid. we have been busy visiting the farm, riding bikes, having playdates, visiting the other gramma and grampa, getting used to daddy's new schedule, playing tractors, riding in tractors...... there is so much that i wish for. most importantly happiness and contentedness. i need to know that my kids are happy, paul and i are happy, and that what we do and are doing will only add to that.

all are now sporting new superhero capes. i found a tutorial from Lara here. i tweaked it a little to make them wider at the top and bottom. their superpowers have not totally gone to their heads! not totally!

there are plenty of big wheels to ride in and to spy from.

that sneaky bunny seemed to pop up lots of places and was able to find us even though we were not home. he even left us surprises at the nursing home with great gramma. a won the second prize and now has a new pink bunny.

just wishing and playing and loving. need i say more.

july loves

can you hear me?? it's july. seriously! and, i want to go live in this world.

i scoured the internet....way too late into the midnight hour.....and found these enchanting photos and finds. i want it all. the uplifting balloon ride high above the earth, riding carefree on the beach with a colorful entourage. and pink clouds lining the sky. a gorgeous summer wardrobe in all shades pink and berries to top it off. lots and lots of berries at a tea party on our new summer wares.

"The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It is not that we seize them, but that they seize us."

~ Ashley Montagu

Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.

~ Guilaume Apollinaire
