food, crochet, merriment
When somebody is gone for two whole years–it’s hard to say what you’ve missed the most–about them–in that time. Was it their smile?
Their laughter at the dinner table?
Their love for all the babies?
Their happy attitude?
Or just their sweet face?
Sure…sure…it’s all of that and a hundred times more, but this afternoon, I do believe I’ve found one thing pretty darn close to the top of that list.
Welcome back boys playing football in the backyard.
It’s been far too long.
Welcome back…indeed.
A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week.
A simple, special, extraordinary moment.
A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
Happy Weekend everyone!
I’m so sorry but I can’t write a post today. You see, I’m waaay too busy…
playing with them…
baking these…
watering that…
making this…
watching them…
washing those…
feeding him…
searching through these…
vacuuming them…
picking those…
photographing that…
tidying these…
and reading this.
All in an effort to…
relax and be calm…
while waiting patiently…
for him.
Oh do wish me luck…
When my Daney boy walks back through the door–in less than 2 days–he’s going to find a few surprises.
For instance–these little birdies–
are a little bit…
bigger…
and there’s a new man in my life…named Mr. Caine.
He’ll find that this slick spot has been replaced…
by this. Miracle Gro is an amazing product.
Where there was just dirt…
there are a million flowers…
and ripe, red strawberries…well almost.
Why, even the “more substantial” mom that he left…is a…ahhh… lesser person…these days…so-to-speak. ;}
The wild lands…
have been tamed…
and where there were a few Patriots…
there are now Vikings.
These two dudes…
have a birdie he’s never even met before.
With all these surprises, I wonder if he will notice a huge new thing…
his mama…
is a happy little blogger.
