Seeing The Future

-
Image
Sometimes it feels like you get a glimpse into the future. Today after school, Toby wanted to go to Hudson's house to play Madden with Hudson and Emmett. Suddenly, it didn't feel like "I want to have a playdate with my friend." It felt like "see you later - I'm going to hangout with my friends." Crazy how nothing changes and everything changes.

Laughing with mom

-

Sometime the book is so good that you have to stom mom and Spencer on the steps to read it aloud to them. Life's pretty great when you have a mom who can appreciate the silliest things. Happy Mother's Day to Cotton and to all the other mom's, especially our mom's, Bahiya, Rabi, amd Jessie.  We love you all!

6-7

The 6-7 craze has largely passed, but today while cleaning out Toby's closet we found these balloons from birthdays almost 2 amd 3 years ago. We had not been allowed to toss them until today.  He wanted one more parting shot.
