a cute little produce stand on the side of a country highway – Roadside Monument to all that is Yum, Delicious and Good!

Driving through the hills, back from the Motocross track, feelin the American West, lovin the flags and bright colors, soakin in the scenery, big rocks and winding roads…

The kids lost in a wonderland of wholesome sugar, a rainbow of goodness. Nourishing. Sun beating down, blue sky singing, all together, hand out the window, baby in our arms. This is it, build a monument in your mind to God’s goodness, all He provides. Stack the rocks high, never forget, walk in His light and always stop to smell the oranges! Hold the bright days in your heart and draw near to him when the shadows close in. Yes it is, His road is good.

School days at home with my boys look different than I ever could have imagined.

I have to admit that many mornings we never make it out of our PJ’s.

Around 10am, right when we are in the thick of things the baby likes to have a gnarly meltdown.

Daily there is something I don’t know how to explain, something that tries my patience, something that makes me feel I am walking a fine line with failure.

but

in spite of and because of all this…

 

These school days are filled with golden light, laughter, wonder, high fives, small triumphs and miraculous breakthroughs.

They smell of cookies and science experiments.

They have letters and numbers scrawled in childish handwriting across them, crayons clutched tight.

Learning the wonder that is this world, created by our maker.

Understanding that knowledge is not wisdom, but both can be born in a tree, on the floor or the couch, at the kitchen table or a sandy beach.

Learning how to fly high, learning how to fall softly and get right back up again.

Making spider cookies and backyard volcanoes. Digging up dinosaurs first thing in the morning.

Treasuring the moments that I never pictured would look like this,

crazy perfect.

  • Sue - Love the permanent flipflop imprints on the Cali boy toes and the snuggle bug babe.ReplyCancel

 

We LOVE the charter school and we LOVE our homeschool days! However, there are only 8 wks left till summer break and everyone is coming down with a touch of Summeritis. I think it goes around early here in Cali since winter is so fleeting.

Anyway, trying to keep the last couple months happy, meaningful and productive! Looking back lends a little perspective…

btw, my Mom has made me and my brothers, and now my kids a pencil card every year since I started Kindergarten at an old school desk with a new box of paints in the basement of our rented house next to Bryan Park

I bought the baby man this “Taille O”  outfit from the UK at a little boutique over by our favorite weekend hang out the Pannikin. It was half off  which brought it from ridiculously expensive for a baby down to reasonably worth the cuteness factor.

TAILLE means SIZE and this outfit marked his passing from infant to baby leaving Size Zero behind, stepping into who he will Become…

He was rapidly outgrowing all his 3-6 mo clothes as he verged on baby – leaving infant in the dust big time! I didn’t feel ready for his rolling over, eating food days to begin because I didn’t want to get any closer to loosing his super cuddly, snuggly, wearing him constantly days.

These clothes eased the transition, bridging the gap with the joy of seeing him sprout into a little person, my baby man, my Jeremiah. No longer just a ball of adorable smoosh but with many days of smunching still ahead of him. Yep those are technical terms! I am known in my house to indulge in shameless babytalk and making up of words.

So there he is at almost 6 months and yep he sure did out grow that outfit in about two weeks! It was oh so worth it to button those little button though.

and… thankfully! at 7 months and counting he still snuggles up and sleeps on me everyday and loves to bob along in his own personal carriage strapped to the front of mommy! He is getting heavy but he makes up for that with all the fun antics he keeps coming up with!

What a magical time this is – Supercalafragilisticexpialidocious to be exact! spelling???
