my family of boys, then and now
Sunday morning Dan came down the stairs for church wearing his blue collared shirt, and I noticed that Zion was wearing a collared shirt too, reminiscent of this photo of Dan and Harvey.

So I said, "Hey, you guys should take a picture!"
Can't you just stand here for like one second!
Unfortunately, toddlers turn out to be difficult to photograph.
oh I give up.
Oh well. You get the idea.
can only think in lists today...
Things that are making me happy today:
- Cooler air!
- The view of our bright pink rhododendron bush, as seen from the hammock.
- The smell of my sweet baby's head.
- The unabashed cuddle of a big boy when it's his turn alone on my lap.
- How extreme exhaustion makes it feel okay to be lazy.
Things that are stressing me out today:
- Books with dust jackets that make it impossible to hold and turn the pages with one hand.
- Empty dust jackets on the floor masquerading as books.
- The oven all reaching into my back pocket for my wallet (only lights half the time, wtf?)
- How hard it is to vacuum upstairs when nobody sleeps at the same time.
- Too many things scheduled for every single weekend in June.
On balance, cooler weather and happy babies beat out messy house today.
