A few random thoughts on this Wednesday afternoon:
1. Today is C.’s first day of school. He navigated the bus transfers, met his teacher, was faced with a huge stack of books on his desk, and greeted his old friends. Pictures will be forthcoming, but are now languishing on my camera.
2. Sick, sick, sick. That would be me. A bit of a scratchy throat yesterday, a sniffle or two, and by bedtime I was confronting a full-blown cold. Yuck. My brain feels like it’s stuffed with all the socks that have been lost by my dryer over the years.
3. My mom called me yesterday and asked me a geometry question and, lo and behold, I was able to answer it correctly so she could figure out awning measurements! Back in 9th grade, the teacher always said this stuff would come in handy. Guess he was right.
4. L., at 15 months, is finally starting to walk. He most certainly will not do it on command, and if we try to stand him up on the floor, his legs turn into noodles and he sinks immediately to a sit. But every now and then, he takes off from the coffee table and lurches two or four or six steps to another random piece of furniture. He’s been taking his sweet time to get to this walking thing, but I bet it won’t be long before he’s running.
5. And now, because a picture is always a good thing to post when I have nothing else to say, here’s a pic of our family, taken last Sunday. L.’s looking a bit dazed, but it was right before naptime, so we decided to cut him some slack.
It is so fun to see a picture of you and your familiy. I have seen pics of the kids here but can’t remember one of the grown ups lately … or ever ????
What a beautiful family!
And I am so sorry that you are sick. A summer cold is oddly the worst. Hot tea, chicken soup and 90 degrees do not go together well. I hope you feel better very soon.
Happy school days C.!
Aww, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of your whole family — everyone’s so adorable! And I think you have on my glasses.
Hope you get to feel better soon. I’ve had a head full of socks before and it’s no fun. Be sure and gargle some warm salt water for that throat!
Awesom pic! Thank you!
I’m sick, too. And so is Emma. But ours seems to be of the stomach variety. Good times.
Both Jake and Emma didn’t walk until they were 15 months old, too. But once they started, all I wanted them to do was sit down.
Love the picture!
Good for C. for getting back into the swing and navigating the first day!
what a beautiful picture..Hope you are feeling better soon..
That is such a great picture of your family – you all look so happy!
Hope you feel better soon!
I can’t wait to see pictures of C. on his first day.
What a wonderful family picture1
Hope you are feeling better soon.
I don’t feel good either…allergy problems.
Great picture! Also the equation was just what I needed. Thank you. Love, Mom
I usually read without commenting (but comment during the challenges!) and just had to say, that is the BEST picture of your family! I’ve seen your kids but not the whole fam and y’all are a great looking family….handsome men and pretty mom!
I’ve been the same way as your #2 this week, sick, sore throat, brain like you say….been doing lots of hot tea and some medicine. Hope you’re better soon!
Love the pic!
Feel better soon!
My youngest was sixteen months before he walked–I was beginning to think he never would!
Oh I just love family pictures. We try to do a new one every summer. What a beautiful family!
I’ve just gotten home after being on vacation for a month. Far too long to be away. I’m just catching up with the blogs now.
Blessings,
Laura
