Cloudy days...

Cloudy days are like sunshine for my soul!

(Probably from living in Arizona almost my entire life.)

Today is one of those "zippity do da" days. I'm at the park with Emery, and it's 8:01am... I have never been a morning person, but playing at the park this early is 

W O N D E R F U L!

Nothing but birds, blue sky, cool breeze, and Emery. I'm really happy.

I'm exceptionally happy, actually.

My life is busier than it's ever been- and I'm still really happy!

The boys are back in school but they start SIX hours earlier than ever before, and come home earlier than ever before, and at separate times, and arrive home in the heat of the day, and I have had to switch Emery's nap time to accommodate, and I no longer have any alone time to clean like I used to, or sit and read...

and yet, I am STILL really happy...

  

Why am I so happy?

Because today is a cloudy day.

Because right here right now, life is good.

And because I can feel the winds of change...

 

First Day Of school!

I can't believe Aiden is in THIRD grade already!!! And that Logan is in SECOND! Oh man, I need to stop blinking- they're growing too fast!!

Poor Emery is SO ready to start- too bad she has to wait a WHOLE year...

Caught In The Act!

For about a week, I would place Aidens dinosaurs in a scene for him to discover the next day...

Climbing into the fridge...

Coloring a picture for him...

Practicing their piano....

Catching up on some prehistoric reading...

I loved it and he did, too!! We'll most likely do it again- if I can remember to- and maybe try and make a tradition of it!

Moon Sand and Fossils...

Tate Phillips has arrived!

My bro and sister in law, Clark and Kelsey, welcomed their third {FIRST son} this morning!
