DAVID... MY REAL BIG BROTHER

.

You may not know I have a big brother... my Mom gave him up when she was very young...

She found him and met him this past week... I was so happy for them both.

I wonder if he knows I have always "looked" for him in airports, in restaurants... everywhere...

I fantasized I would see him when I was in Greece and he would just know me and .... well...

So, I'm working on a letter... how do you tell your brother you have always wanted him in your life and that you have a lifetime of memories that you wish you could have lived...

What a journey... I'm going to meet him soon~ I know it in my soul... Namaste

REMODELING

.

.

bear with me... a lot of "remodeling" going on here lately... schedules, blogs, home office in my kitchen and a cute surfer room for the boys... pics to come!

OUR DIFFERENT DAY

right before they went in... purely for my amusement... I'll take it!

.

Sometimes there are just no words... just the moment

.

Five Good Things

1. The look on their faces after they were buckled and knew they were actually "going" to school... this was the moment
2. Christopher getting dressed so quickly and setting and example for Nate
3. Cooper loves soy milk and is talking all over the place! "hi" and "cracker" are his faves... still signing and picking up more
4. Seeing little boys run to the door at school yelling "Mama"... I think we all loved the break!
5. Caffeine!!
