:: listening to the fleeting quiet of my house while David and the littles take a morning walk
:: warmly remembering the fried chicken that I have eaten this week
:: feeling hopefully overwhelmed by the motherhood challenges that I am currently grappling
:: learning to sit on the floor and play with my children, every day
:: in awe of my children's imagination and what they are teaching me when I take the time to pay attention
:: thankful for our large blow up swimming pool that is keeping me and the littles cool and sane on these long hot summer days
:: missing having more time to accomplish my goals since my children are becoming increasingly demanding for my attention
:: lost without my camera (I need a new battery)
:: dreaming of a kitchen makeover
:: scheming of getting chickens again
:: flabbergasted that school starts back in just over two weeks for Dmitri
:: wishing that Damon could go to school too
:: eyeing our new Summer Meal Plan for what's for dinner that I have labored over and look forward to sharing once it is fully tested
:: planning my fall garden
:: frustrated by Damon's intense separation anxiety
:: frustrated by Damon's intense separation anxiety
:: knitting dishcloths, dishcloths, dishcloths.
:: looking forward to my brother's wedding next month! And happy that it gives the opportunity for coordinated family photos.
:: savoring these last summer weeks
:: excited that potty training is going quite well for Dmitri
:: thrilled by only changing and washing one child's diapers
:: feeling blessed, thankful, hot, overwhelmed.
::going to admire the flowers picked for me on the walk and then head to storytime!

Ahhhm the joys and challenges of two littles, right? Thanks for sharing.
Loved reading this. Being a mama brings with it more feelings than I ever could have imagined! It truly is one of the most difficult yet rewarding jobs of all time. Sometimes I look at my little guy and smile because the simplest, mundane things are so sweet when they come from him. <3
