rice
i was thinking. i know, i know… who has time for that?? but i was. and what i was thinking was this: that those 5lb. bags of flour they gave us in high school to 'simulate' having a baby perpetuated LIES. no really, it should have been a 15lb. bag of rice. with a small explosive set to explode said bag of rice at random intervals; mostly when you are trying to be on time for something. and you'd have to carry around spare bags and a dustpan and sweep it all up and get it all in a new bag before you got to where you were going. you'd be late. a lot. and you would sleep, fitfully, on rice. it would be in your ears and bra... it would itch. and at the end of the 4 years of high school if you still had at least 14.5lbs. then, maybe then you passed that part of sex ed. maybe. if they didn't randomly give you another 15lb. bag after 2 years.

.:::seventh:::.
we're in our seventh trip around the sun with our little man. we were married for seven years when he made us parents. seven is my favorite number. you may already know how i feel about 28. there's 4 in our family, that's perfect math as far as i'm concerned. the perfect reason to celebrate and enjoy all the sevens happening around here right up till that big day in november when he wears this magical number for a year.

we had a BIG party to celebrate the first one

.......
celebrated his seventh season of peace, joy and love.
.......

.......

.......

.......

.......
still a voracious reader. i used to read to him while he grew inside of me. currently we have 56 books checked out, mostly about hall of fame baseball players.
.......
in his seventh year of his favorite food. (technically more perhaps, it was my favorite thing to eat while pregnant with him)
.......
and now i must stop this. i started putting these together a month ago, i had been loving thinking about all the sevens. i started looking through the photographs of when he was little and i wanted to stay there for days. everyone is right; it goes so fast. i need to come back to the present so i don't blink and it's gone. i'm going to go enjoy the rest of the sevens yet to come and celebrate this little man of mine.

the view from here
again, amy is inspiring me to do more then just the dishes...
the forsythia came out in what seemed like an hour, i can't stop staring at it and feeling the hope it brings that spring is really coming.
there's so much of it, but i like looking at it with these 2 cool rocks. i'm enjoying discovering the beautiful little places that will take their place forever in my memory next too my past homes' favorite places.
i unpacked this bowl my dad made us a long time ago, the pears looked so perfect in it. i wanted to photograph them in sunlight but by the time the sun rose two were in my belly and the symmetry just wasn't the same.
late again for using seeds. i picked up 4 basil plants that are now on the counter waiting the pots they will go in since again my garden can not be permanent. you can't see the one i've already almost killed....
my dad came to town and brought this bench he made for us.
got a fabulous invitation... check it out if you can.

this cool cat decided she was done with diapers before she was 3. did it herself, which we are pretty stoked about since the older one was dragged out of diapers 2 months after his 4th bday.
she wanted "green underpants. not light green dark green". hard to find. so i carved a turtle stamp and gave her dark green turtles. she was delighted.
we found some green and blue glitter paint...that was for paper.
it was everywhere....but it looked so pretty.
what's your view like?
