Amazing photographer!

Ponies and my peace of mind

Spent a few days on Chincotegue Island off the coast of Virginia for a few days. What a beautiful place. So needed the trip to the beach--to the ocean--to see the sea, hear the ocean, smell the smells from the ocean, feel the sand between my toes, pick up sea shells, dig for sand fleas, eat from the sea. Restore my peace of mind. Where all is right with the world, family with me, smile on my face. The best!

6 years today

Bean was born 6 years ago today. Wow, time flies by. I remember the first time I saw that beautiful face of his, I fell instantly in love with him and still am to this day. While I enjoyed him as a baby, I have to admit, I love being a mom to him right now. He is an amazing boy. Everyday he amazes me. So full of wonder and excitement and an eagerness to learn new things, see new things, experience new things. He is a very bright, curious, adventurous, independent, sweet, loving, mischievous, competitive, generous, selfish, and determined boy. I love him because he is as excited about his new series of books he got for his birthday as he is about the new in line skates he got. And he wants to read them all now and learn how to skate now. He still sleeps with his bear bear but he wants to wander the neighborhood alone in search of adventure and friends.

The reason for Mother's Day, right here.

Mother's Day Hike

Mother's Day--aren't we all trying to build a nest that our babies (both young and grown) can feel safe in while they grown and learn, explore the world, experience new things.

And this man, how I love him so. Thanks to him for making me realize that I wanted to be a mother. Thanks to him for helping me try to become the best mother I can be to these two wonderful, curious, independent, kind, loving, smart, and just amazing children.
