“From A Passing Car”
I often see flowers from a passing car
That are gone before I can tell what they are.

All are available in my Etsy shop.
It really is a coincidence, but another Etsy shop, MadisonReeceDesigns.etsy.com, has contacted me wanting to make necklace pendants with my photos too. So here is the finished product! And I’m thrilled that she picked a completely different set of photos than the other shop.
I think Jack awoke with a party hangover from having so much hoopla with his cousins last night. This morning he came too about 6:00 am, ate then went right back to bed for another couple hours, woke for about a half hour then back for another long nap. That’s what I get for keeping him up way past his bed time.
Jack saw his first sparklers and his eyes said, “ooooo, pretty.” And I think last night he had his first taste of grass too.
Audrey said if you have two sparklers and run around you can fly like a bird.
And the prize of the night was getting 5 boys under the age of 5 to sit still on a blanket for a cousin’s photo.
Boston! What ya looking at?
Kisses and love.
I’m holding back on posting any of the traditional photos the mother wanted, (I’ll save that for her) but I will show off the spunky spirit of this little girl. Three year olds definitely have a mind of their own no matter what we tell them.
I’ve joked about- “yes, I want another sibling for Jack, he needs someone to fight with.” Because, well, that’s what siblings do, right? they argue and pick on each other. But after reading this little article, I’m changing my approach.
The mother “tells her squabbling boys that the reason she had two children was so they cold love each other.” And I just hooked on that idea and thought of my own family and how I’m so grateful we have each other to love, especially in the future when my parents pass on.
I deeply want a sibling for our son, but that choice seems sadly out of my hands. At least in the traditional sense. I just hope we can be apart of another adoption so that Jack will have a sibling to love. I want him to have a sister or brother to “share a love belonging uniquely to them, to be carried beyond my lifetime and their father’s.”
I just want to kiss his curls off, they are so cute.
