Thankful

It seems from time to time I just feel awake with my family. We are in one of those worlds right now where everything makes sense, fit, feels good, and is well. I will take this as a moment to breath softly and stay present. Our family is awake, alive, happy, and simply living. We are in a place of sinking. I am at  a point where I don't need a picture to show our family...

Truthy is a alive, loud, a chatty little person. She loves her babies, jumping on her bed, playing kitchen, cuddling with her siblings and mama/papa. She still needs to cuddle up at night in "her" bed with us. She loves bugs, her friends, being carried in a pack, getting wet, chasing chickens, loving on Nesta, kicking the soccer ball, spinning in the house, jumping "high" in the trampoline, repeating her words over and over, peeing on a potty, dressing her self many times a day, sipping milk from her bottle, and over all being a happy little girl.

Orien is enjoying being 4. He loves dancing in dance class, playing soccer with buddies and his papa, playing with Truthy while Cedar is working on school, reading books, building Lego's, making silly faces, and saying silly things, playing fireman with Cedar, sleeping, finding his imaginative world with Guthrie, playing for hours by himself, biking, skipping, digging in dirt, simply being a kid.

Cedar is a happy first grader. He loves his "morning lessons", fairy tales, writing writing writing, listening to chapter books with his papa, listening to books on tape, counting, drawing, anything related to school, biking, jumping, playing soccer on a team, building Lego's, following instructions, crafts, playing with his friends, becoming a Junior Park ranger, listening, following rules, playing firemen and pirates, making posters and signs, always wanting everything to be  a surprise.
I love taking the time to think about the kiddos...I know one day I wont remember this day but today it is all we are.
