A journal for my children of my life with them

This blog tells the story of my children while they are young.
I am constantly told, like by the stranger when my little one had an accident today in the library, that these moments go by so fast
(although I wished I could have skipped that one).
I can feel them slipping through my hands, all these little beautiful moments.
Moments when I get to be a child again because of their wonder.
Moments when their need for me challenges me (sometimes at the library) to be a better and bigger person.
Moments when I am faced with their pain and must rely on God for their needs.
Moments when I hurt because they are just so beautiful to look at, and even more often so beautiful on the inside.

I don't know if they will want to read these chronicles when they grow up, but I hope so. I hope this journal helps them to remember a childhood they loved, and family who love them

The Good Day


It started with a puppet show.  I made it with two expandable tension curtian rods, and an extra set of curtians.  Dorathea asked for water and grass and picked out a rug and cloth for her scenery.  Her puppets cast below are from the dollar tree.


While Jonathan napped, I took Dorathea to the Library in the bike trailer.  We got some new Mo Willems Easy Reader books.  Here is a favorite, "The Belly Button Book".  This book led to Jonathan's nickname, "Beboo"



Then onto the playground beside the library to meet Daddy and Jonathan. Girl posing with full book basket.

We ended the day eating at a neighborhood seafood place.  Then home to entertain young Misty and Ted and talk until late, late.  Lovely, Lovely Day!
