Everyday

Here we are walking into church.  It was Caroline's first time with pigtails and she had no idea they were there until she saw her shadow.   "MOM, I HAVE TWO!!!"  

I took this picture sitting on the couch.  Watching and relishing this new beautiful moment.   

I just don't mind little footprints.   I took this at least a week ago and I imagine they are still there.   

Ben's most talented mother has been sewing up a storm.   Look what arrived in the mail.   Seriously adorable and we are so incredibly thankful!   You are amazing, Jane!   

They demand color patterns and meticulous painting and have zero patience to let them dry.

I love to spy.  

ZOOMING in.  

Caroline makes me laugh even when she is not around.  I found this and cracked up; every spoon was used and lined up.      

Cousin Camp Part 2

It was the briefest time with my mom but so worth it.   She swept in with energy and tricks up her sleeve to keep the clan busy.   

8 passengers for a 7 passenger car.   yes, this happened.   mimi in a trunk all the way to the museum downtown.   that is a good grandma right there.   

 I LOVE the goodbye pictures.  Not because I love the goodbye but because look at makena's face.   These kids LOVE each other.  

Because I learned how to take a screenshot

You can learn a lot about how incredibly uncool I am in this thread.   There is that.   But what I also see is a friendship that is one of the most precious gifts I have ever been given.
