They're a Big Deal
I can't believe I'm a mom.
These big boys...they're my children. My children. Do you know how weird that is for me to say, still? I am a mom. with. children. It's still a lot to wrap my head around.
Know why?
Because these two...they're a big deal. I'm responsible for them.
I'm an adult, who has been given two human beings...to take care of until they can take care of themselves.
That's huge.

Random Thoughts on a Saturday...
(aka: i haven't posted in a really long time and i really don't know where to even start).
So, my kids are now 2 & 4. I thought 2 & 4 would start out differently. For a while, it was kind of...chaotic. Somehow it's getting un-chaotic. The boys are getting along WELL a majority of the time. There is calm some of the time. Everyone sleeps at night. No one is coughing or throwing up. It is a good time.
Today we sat and did "cravs" for a long time. We hit Hobby Lobby and got some new supplies. We got scissors for Lennon. We got everyone their own gluestick. Ok, I was even on top of things enough that I bought the Easter eggs and baskets and stuff to decorate them for a school party that isn't for three whole weeks. I am mad on top of things. My breathing is easy. My demeanor is calm. I like it in this place.
I want to sit and stay for a while...
I'm planning to start writing here again, because I like it. And I miss it.
I'm also going to start writing over at Disco Fries and Pop. I'm headed over there in a minute to write about the Mod Podge I created today with a People's "Year's Greatest" from 1979. The parallels from that year and today are stunning. Really.
I just posted some new pics of my big boys. Take a peek.

They Take My Breath Away
Their beauty.
Their innocence.
The newness of life. One that I get to experience again through their eyes.
What a gift to be present for joy like this.

He looks up to him in every way.
Spending a sunny day at the zoo.
