LITTLE HANDS... BIG STUFF

the sweetness of the moment... the privilege of watching them learn... these busy little cooper hands have been trying to master cutting... his determination has been ~ well, for lack of a better word... inspiring... to practice is to grow...

i never want to forget this day...

Five Good Things

1. that big box of crayons... loved putting them in their stockings and loved that i'm not so old that they had those when i was a kid... after all it was just a couple of weeks ago that christopher asked me if we still had donuts when i was a kid~ i am still smiling about that one!
2. awanas~ they come home so excited... i never tire of hearing all about it and seeing their little hearts grow
3. expanding... camera course in the near future? hopefully!!! or maybe just a lot of studying on line!
4. weekly donut dates with nate while the other boys are in school... to watch nate enjoy a donut will make you want 10!
5. my messy desk... lots of stuff going on with these little guys! neat can be over rated!!

MAYAN MADNESS!

They were dancing in their traditional garb... The feathers alone were beautifully stunning! It was sooo crowded but we managed to have tons of fun ~ with this big belly we got off to a good start with a parking spot right by the door!

We made beaded necklaces with Mayan symbols, boats on sticks... sculpted clay and took in all the sights & sounds...

My favorite men... big and little...

I heart days with the fam!

Christopher wants me to take his pic ALL the time... he tells me how far to stand and what to take it of... he then inspects it, tells me if it's good or asks me to do it again with his "tips"...

he LOVES to play his guitar and write songs...

painting~ they are vivid and amazing~ Christopher loves to make purple mixing red & blue (if you haven't heard yet, he loves all things purple), he asked me how to mix it when the purple depleted... stay tuned to see our outdoor art studio Chris & I are working on!
