\"Aldergrove
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

* Car line-ups. A boy thing. A 3-year old thing. Or 2-year old thing (because that\u2019s when it began). The line-ups are getting more and more elaborate. Sometimes even arranged by color. Often all facing the same direction\u2026 except the grader because he always thinks the back is the front and the front is the back.<\/p>\n

* Lady bugs are welcome in my garden any day. I wish I had a macro lens. I think I would enjoy macro photography.<\/p>\n

* Okay, I need to start printing more photos of my kids. I love this one of Mattias. Art spotted this location through the foliage in our yard. There Mattias stood laughing at Noah. Laughing at Art who quickly joined in. And I got to capture it. They say that people who spend their time taking photos don\u2019t enjoy the moment. I disagree. I am always watching for the moment. I seek the moment. I look for opportunities to create the moment. And I DEFINITELY enjoy the moment! Speaking of printing family photos. Willette has inspired me<\/a> to print and organize my photos. I\u2019m not sure exactly what approach I\u2019m going to take but I need to do something\u2026<\/p>\n

* Noah dancing like no one is watching.<\/p>\n

* The standard view when I look down. Mattias. Trying to crawl up me. He\u2019s starting to talk now. His first word was \u201cnana\u201d for banana, a couple of months ago. Noah, Daddy, Mum-mum or Mamma, ball and most recently: cracker.<\/p>\n

* Broccoli Salad. The typical one with bacon & grapes.<\/p>\n

* Crescent Beach for a photo session on Saturday. More on this some other time.<\/p>\n

* Potty training. Perhaps, I should leave it at that but I won\u2019t. It\u2019s been a turbulent week. One of many tears. Mostly mine. Please understand, I don\u2019t cry easily, at least not at my own pity party. I knew Noah would be resistant. I also knew that Noah was capable because we\u2019ve tried before. We had some really terrible days: Tuesday. And we had some really good days: Friday. I was elated at his progress and I would even say that it was bonding time. A team effort. Then the weekend came and it didn\u2019t go well. I think it\u2019s going to be a long haul before he is fully trained. And I\u2019m not even counting nights.<\/p>\n

* It was hot hot hot this week. Noah enjoyed running through the sprinkler to cool off. I was floored and giddy. You see, Noah hates water. Bathing included. To see him enjoy the sprinkler was precious to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
