Eese!

Eese! That's what he says as soon as you put a camera up in front of him. Baby boy, not so much baby anymore, full of joy. And spice and fire and busy, but we'll talk about that another time.

Noah's first day of Kindergarten

Well folks, he did it. And apparently loved it. Wanted to go back this afternoon, shortly after he got off the bus at a bit past 4 and started feeling frustrated with his brother. There were magnets and so many fun things and cool shoes on the boy whose hair spikes up a little. There was also a hand written note from his teacher saying that he had had a GREAT day, and a small welcome gift with attached poem. A very good way to start things off with a Mama who will expect her to bring her A game and not much less. 14 kids, 2 teachers, 1 organic garden, and a happy boy. Yes, a good start, indeed.

Read this the other day and had to share it. Maybe I love them too much, probably depends on who you ask. But it is what it is, so that's that.

My sweet Henry, off to preschool. Not wanting me to take his picture. He apparently had a great time, his fantastic teacher reported. Yup, preschool. Don't even get me started. This is going to be quiet a week.

Baby in the butterfly garden. With cereal stuck to his tummy.

This was taken by his big brother, who is adored by this younger brother beyond compare. That's a lucky kind of love.

Summer

This has been the most wonderful summer, and I am sad to see it coming to an end, for many reasons. But rather than focus on the end of a season, I will attempt to look forward to what lies ahead, and be thankful that I get to call these people mine every step of the way! Truly, it still gets me almost everyday.

These were taken at an indoor play place in MA near my mother's house. We don't play there often but when we do it is a big treat! They had a blast with the pom poms for over an hour- who knew?!
