What no one suspected until this photo 
came out, was that Billy was actually a wooden dummy.

Conversations with Koen


My almost 4 year old says some pretty funny things.
I want to always remember them
so please indulge me as I write
a record of how adorable he is at this age.

Conversation at bedtime:
K: I'm mad at Griffin because he doesn't listen to me.
Me: Well, one day when y'all grow up, you'll be the best of friends.
 Thougtful pause
K: We'll have to buy really big car seats then.

While opening his Easter basket:
"Thank you, Easter Bunny!"
Side glance my way
"I was pretending just then."

While gazing into my eyes:
K: Your eyeballs have red cracks in them.
Me: I know, that means mommy is tired.
K: I hope that they don't break.

 See what I mean?
Most adorable almost 4 year old South
of the Mason-Dixon Line.

Places We Love : Canopy


Koen took his first trapeze class
at our favorite place, Canopy.

At first he wasn't so sure about the whole thing.


It took him a little bit to warm up to it.


But with a little help from his sweet teacher
and just an ounce of courage,
he took to it in no time.
 

I love my little high flyer.
He's been begging to go back all week.

The Happiness Project :: Week 4

Easter was so much fun.
After church, we all gathered at my
parents' house to eat lunch.

My mom always sets a sweet table.
It makes the occasion seem so fancy and fun.

She even made gluten free/soy free cake!
It was ssssooooo yummy!

This awesome hat was waiting for me.
I perched it on my head and wore it during lunch
and felt pretty snazzy.

My mom got it at the flea market for me.
I'm pretty sure that it's vintage.
It sort of smelled like soup.

Of course,
the boys opened Easter baskets
and had an Easter egg hunt
but I was too busy enjoying the moment
and forgot to take pictures.

It happens to the best of us.
Instead, I'll share a picture
of a walking chicken
that poops gum.

to scout out happiness for a whole year?

What my brain has been busy doing...

 photo b5b1a5e8-b896-4fc8-b280-e79b8f8bada6_zps8f9206b2.jpg

Writing my novel.
I'm doing it, for real this time.

I'm learning so much
as I travel through 
the story with my characters.

My goal is to have the first draft done
before the boys get out of school for the summer.

It's looking like I'm going to reach that goal.

The laundry may not be folded
and there may be yesterday's dishes in the kitchen sink
but the words are coming to me 
and I'd much rather write than clean.
