February looks super lame. I took 5 photos that month? They were all digital? Sad, sad times. (Okay, so I may have taken more, which I am almost POSITIVE I did, proof may be in the stack of 5 or so discs I just found from Walgreen's.) I'll check them out and let you know, but for now...
Yep. That's it. Not even a photo of Joth. BOO.
Anyway. I'll share another one of my resolutions. Take time each day to hug each of my kids, look them in the eye, and do SOMEthing that THEY want to do. Today, I took time to help Memms write a story. She REALLY likes writing stories and drawing pictures to go with them. Actually, she draws the pictures and then we write the story together. Afterwards I kissed her ginormous cheeks repeatedly. She is the sweetest girl I know.
Millz? Well, I held her on my lap for what seemed like two hours while I worked. That is what she seemed to want to do, so I let her. I also gave her some of my leftover birthday cake from The Cheesecake Factory. She really liked that.
Joth? He has been at school all day, but I plan on taking him with me to run a few errands before we are off to our cousin Lance's funeral. Jobby tends to get super tired and crabby after school, so I hope to tickle him and be silly with him and let him pick a treat from the store. Possibly I'll give into the Hot Wheels car he always tries to get me to buy.
Yep, these are the days, and they are quickly speeding past us. This week I lost two family members. Lance, and my Great Grandma Thurgood. Tears well up when I think of all the times I let the 'other stuff' get in the way of the right now.
Trying super hard to remember this each and every day.
Hope your days are full of as much joy as I am trying to find in mine.
xoxo

I love you... I just wanted to stop by and say that.
Will you come over to my house and do something with each of my kids they want to do? I'm lame. And you are awesome.
((Hugs)) to you this week.
I think I want to dust off my film camera and take a roll or two. I want to take the same picture with my digital and with my film, just to see.
I will let you know how it goes.
Sounds like you are making a great start at being in the "now".
I'm so sorry for your losses, but I'm glad you were able to walk away with a new perspective from everything.
And the photos? Beautiful! :)
Just stumbled upon your blog! You have a beautiful family. I loved your blog on the different things you want to do for each of your children to make them feel special. I'm a single 25 yr old chica, whose just looking to date! But you offer very good ideas for the future! Be blessed!
