Below are a few of the reasons why I love summer....

Reunited and it feels so good
Blue.. the color of rain, or rebirth, or sadness, or deep emotion...
Well, it is time to use this color and reconnect with my blog to keep a balanced life and absorb the little moments. There have been so many moments I could have written about, SHOULD have written about, if for no other reason than to preserve those memories in writing. Paisley learned to ride a bike, Harper and Paisley really learned to swim, they have grown in height, grown in mind, and grown in their hearts....so many memories, so many moments. Really, what was it that made me stop writing? Well, it was two things, two little things:
1. I became frustrated that my computer did not record the "last import" when I wanted to upload pictures time and time again..it only gave me the options of the update prior to the one I wanted..
2. It was summer and I was enjoying spending more time outside, more time all-together, less time on the computer, less time with electronics
I suppose that as I write them, at least the second one seems somewhat reasonable!
But, now I am ready,
ready to write,
ready to post pictures,
and
READY
for what lies
AHEAD.
It is in this last word that I want to look, to focus, and see where it is going.
Having children that are 5 and 3 is magical. That is not to say that it hasn't been magical to this point. I am the first to say that although motherhood presents trying times-at times-it is by far and away the most rewarding, most eye-opening, and most challenging thing I have done in my life. I have loved and tried to absorb each stage, despite how fast they fly by. But, back to 5 and 3...
5 and 3 means they play together on their own, they create their own games, they are more self-sufficient, and ultimately they need me less. Perhaps it is not less, but rather, differently. They need me differently, and now I find myself looking at the next stage. The stage where the girls need me more mentally and less physically. So, now I am off to discover what is next....more on this another time, and a focus on where the girls stand now...once I can get the computer to upload the most recent pictures!!
