As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can't tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself." -Joyce MaynardUnknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger127125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941485256924475580.post-30685574765281598752015-01-11T21:30:00.000-08:002015-01-12T12:28:40.060-08:00Sunday Art DayIt seems over the last few weeks that Sunday has become art day...or
crafts day...or whatever you want to call it day. You and your brother
each have boxes full of paper, string, bits and pieces of various things
that you use to create whatever your little heart desires. Today I got out my collage piece I've been
working on. I love sitting down at the table with all of us working on
our various projects!<br />

beliefs, others are more flexible. Your brother is already starting to question
and wonder - he is open to the possibilities.<br />
<br />
Grandma Bonnie has certain beliefs and feels compelled to share them
with you. I respect that. Mama Laura has other beliefs and wants to
share them with you but is still unsure of how to best approach that. I
respect that as well. I don't necessarily share the same beliefs as
either one. That's okay too. I expect your dad doesn't either.<br />
<br />
The world is full of different beliefs. I don't care if you are
Christian, Buddhist, Agnostic, or Atheist, or anything else. I just
wish for you and Dylan to grow up to be kind, loving people who are open
to the world around you. People who are grateful and realize that not
everyone has what you have. People who help those around you.
Inclusive of others, not closed off. People who value community and the
natural world. This is my wish for you. <br />
<br />
I and others around you are going to stumble as we navigate this
process. Please be forgiving people too. I love you and your brother
so very, very much. You two are absolutely amazing spirits. Thank you
for sharing this journey.

For a flat fee, you get to do whatever art project your little heart can think of. You and I made a bracelet with pipe cleaner and beads, you painted, you played with playdough and we made a rattle drum together. All in all, I think it was a hit!<br />

So, you and I got some one on one time together!<br />
<br />
Last night, I picked you up from daycare and we had dinner at the tacqueria. After that, we went to a concert at Riverfront Park. Tonight, you and I cooked dinner together and hung out! I so appreciate getting to spend time with you.<br />
<br />
I worry sometimes that you might feel short-changed so I like being able to make you feel special.<br />

Until I was 18, it was owned by Fred and Vera Virtue and they had at least one music campout a year. After Fred and Vera passed away, they left the property to your great-grandparents and our family.<br />
<br />
This year, we drove down with Ethan and Uncle Matt. Laura was here visiting again from WY so she came with us too. We got a late start but you, Dylan and Ethan did great in the truck. Its good to see you all together.<br />

watched. It was pretty darn cute. Then, today we went to church and
then over to Eames' house for lunch and an egg hunt. The three of you
were so handsome and adorable looking for eggs! It was extremely great
of Crystal and Aaron to plan such a fun activity for all of you!!!<br />

superhero capes and killed monsters. Then, still in our superhero
capes, we went for a walk to what I like to call the secret bridge. Eames and Ella came over in the afternoon and we eventually moved the
party back outside after baking some chocolate chip cookies. You were very unsure as to why I was carrying Ella around and then you were very concerned about her playing with your toys. I think you warmed up to the idea after a bit though.<br />

Marnie did
a watercolor of one of our tulips...after dumping the treasures you or
your brother stored there. <br />

blossoms are in full bloom at the Capitol. The three of us walked down
to take a look. Everything is just beautiful right now! Afterwards we
stopped at Safeway so you and Dylan could each get a cookie. <br />
<br />
We also stopped at the softball field and checked out the Canada geese
that have been hanging out there. You didn't appear to be too impressed by the birds. Later in the day, after you got up
from your nap, it was still nice and we played out in the yard.<br />
