"well at least two out of the three of us are dressed pretty cute. if i didn't shower and took two, maybe three, seconds for myself that seems good enough. i mean i did wash my face. and lets be honest - when i am with the girls no one is giving me too much attention." :)
my inner dialogue on a day cleaning dominated the morning and finally sam asked to go for a walk. i had to say yes for all of our sakes.

kindergarten
so Sam is a couple of years away from her kindergarten debut but my dear friend from college - Christina - sent her daughter off to kindergarten today. (sigh). and lets not even mention how old ben moser is :)
for some reason seeing the picture of makenna's back as she walked towards the entrance of the school almost brought me to tears this morning. Christina wrote under the picture, "I guess we r doing this." yup. and there is me - a puddle on the floor.
it probably didn't help i spent last night working on a scrap book from the year sam was born where every other post was about a 'trip to the midwife' and there was a constant blog post stream on the state of my pregnancy. (bless you all for sticking with me). these posts are followed, obviously, by thoughts and pictures of sam's first weeks of life.
flash forward to today when she is boldly climbing on ropes and quickly making her way down slides at the park. (deep sigh). where does the time go? (how cliche am i? - smile).
i think seeing the picture of Christina's little girl walk to kindergarten reminded me of the reality that this is my last school year with Sam at home full time. and there is such a sweetness of our days together. i don't want to stop her from growing up because her growing up is such fun. i love her as a toddler, most days. the picture was a good reminder for me to cherish these fleeting days and to take advantage of my teaching moments with Sam, for there are many. and to give her as many hugs as she will let me. and to read her as many books as clara will allow :)
man - I am glad Christina is ahead of me on this one. lead the way dear friend. lead the way.

we have a computer!!!
After hours and hours and hours we have a fast, working, new computer!!!!!!!!!!!
Be on the look out for some awesome posts... well not really... but look for some updates :)
hope to be back more regularly in the blog world now that i don't have to pull my hair out when i use the computer.
in the mean time - this verse has been my morning companion these past few weeks - a great encouragement to me to see as i start my day.
Isaiah 33:2
Lord be gracious to us, we long for you.
Be our strength every morning, our salvation in times of distress.
