In the midst of our sorrow – the kids give us relief from the burdens that adulthood bring…
On Sunday we saw a baptism being done near the spot our ferry was docking. Olivia was full of questions and comments about this thing called “BATHtism“. :)
Also on Sunday Joel made a comment about Handy Downs (we know them by their more popular name, “Hand Me Downs”). He giggled and said, “That’s funny how Handy Downs are called that because they really are handy!” :)
Lucy and dandelions…. “pree-e fowers“. Each day we take Joel and Olivia to school she squeals delightfully over the lovely yellow blooms that sprout everywhere. She examines them closely… Time is… what’s time? There are so many pree-e fowers to look at! She always says, “TWO pree-e fowers…” One is never enough.
This year I am thankful that I can walk my kindergartener to school. It’s lovely- I plan enough time for us to stop and look at the flowers, have tantrums, or eat a snack. It takes a LONG time to walk 1.5 blocks, but I believe my blood pressure is lower because of it.
