happy birthday to our favorite neighbor!

Today our day was filled with making birthday signs, picking and juicing oranges for our birthday cake, picking out photos for a birthday slideshow, and decorating for a birthday party.  The kids loved it! I loved that we were all busy thinking about someone else and had no time to feel sorry for ourselves or fight with each other.

Mudpie Kitchen

everyone needs a mud pie kitchen
and they should keep it busy
sometimes you can make donuts
or bake little brothers in the oven
 

 

 

loving every minute of them! (ok, pretty darn close to every minute)

both the kids love their brother

Being surrounded by nearly full bloom 

brings out different things in all of us 

we dig a little deeper 

climb a little higher 

try new things 

 

 

our toes yearn to create our own sandy beaches 

that sometimes do not survive the big waves 

that is their sandbox 

we know the lazy days of summer are upon us 

what am I talking about? 

all of our days are pretty much lazy 

 

 

 

 

I am loving every minute 

and every detail  

Lucky or Blessed?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lucky or Blessed?

to celebrate, we wore green
all of us
because Nate was given a st. patty's day shirt.
to kill some timeto enjoy each other's company
and play with mama's camera
we took some photo booth timer pictures.
No attempt was made to get everybody in one shot
though I am slightly jealous of other another Freeman family's recent pics
If I didn't hate really dislike having my picture taken
we might could get some decent family picture
either way
I feel lucky and oh so Blessed!
