I've been kind of blue lately, and today just didn't stink at all. Travis, the children and I, went swimming tonight at our neighbors and spent some time in the yard. Lily is getting better and better at swimming and she is almost as proud of herself, as I am of her. Charlie continues to be the comedian. He must have yelled, "CANNONBALL!" a hundred times as he jumped in the pool. We grilled hot dogs and I made the best homemade chili yet. Travis has to work tomorrow,so I think I'm going to load up the kids and take them to see my grandparents at the lake for the day. More swimming equals good sleep!

Life is about change
Change means movement. Movement means friction. Only in the frictionless vacuum of a nonexistent abstract world can movement or change occur without that abrasive friction of conflict. -Saul Alinsky
Change. I guess it does mean movement and movement means friction. In less than 3 weeks, my Lily starts kindergarten. What a milestone, what a big event, what a blow to a mother's heart, what a shock to my system. While I am so excited for Lily, I am finding myself blue at the thought of it. Thank goodness I have Travis who keeps me sane and loves me through all the pings and pains I am feeling!

Charlie Turns 3!
I've been away from blogging for a long time, but had the perfect reason to return,
my sweet, beautiful, funny, amazing little man is 3! We celebrated his birthday on Sunday with famliy and close friends. Charlie wanted a construction cake, so I made him just that! It is so hard to believe that my baby is such a big guy now. Charlie Laffin, you make my heart swell everytime I look at you. I never knew my heart could love one little funny, redhead so much. You are the answer to my prayer and the song in my heart. Happy Birthday!
