Well, I declare...it's still there!

Just haven't looked up in quite some time.

Me too...me too!

Well, this little altered book almost landed in the can.  
Past the cover, 
it was not a fun process for me like the others have been, 
and I finally just hurried to get it over with, 
determined not to abandon it totally. 

But it has insisted on getting face-time 
along with the other ones. 

So, I guess it's trying to tell me something...
like, perhaps, not everything in life 
looks like it fits or has a place. 

Try as I might, 
I just couldn't get this one to "come together".  
DUH!

Thank you, God, 
for all the parts that just hang there, 
not landing where I think they should...
and for letting me be there to watch them dangle 
and then drop out-of-place. 

Sometimes I just cannot imagine 
how it could possibly 
all belong. 
Thank goodness, 
I'm not in charge of this planet!

Another altered offering...


Your attention please...

I had slipped into my study to check email.  

When Sawyer came in to greet me, 
he had his footed pajamas wrapped around his head, swami-like, 
and his Donald Duck-Dressed-Up-Like-the-Easter-Bunny 
buddy clutched under his arm, squawking and gyrating.  

He definitely got my attention!  

Oh, the scratches on his nose and lip are from his attempt 
to tightrope-walk the garden hose at his house the other night.  

I'm calling him "Butch"!

Thank you, God, 
for keeping my life crazy and messy 
with this little baby-comedian.    

Italia!

The inspiration~

Just Life Giggling

Rob commented that Sawyer seems to be 
so full of "something" these days.  
I suggested that it's probably LIFE (SFH)!  

These little ones are such good reminders for us of 
how easy it is to simply be in the moment.  

Oh, and today Sawyer said, "Papa" for the first time.  
Coincidence?  I don't think so.
