David is home 'sick' today (he has been fine except for the awful, 20 minute fits he's having a couple times day with abdominal cramping. Apparently it's a bug that's going around) So, I took the boys to Morro Bay and we walked the path at the Cloisters to the ocean. It was sunny but chilly. We needed to get out and play a bit.
We got some good hand-holding and
back-pack snuggling time in. Put that tongue back in your mouth, young man!
Matty could have run and dug in the sand for another hour at least!
It was a beautiful walk!
And we saw a snake! I'm sure it was harmless, but I didn't stick aournd to find out.
The winner for the Family Tree Giveaway is Lindsey. Her blog is called
Merry Christmas from the Thomspons. I was just reading thru some recent posts and felt so at home with her. She is beautiful and honest and I am so glad she won! Happy Monday!
David seems much better, thankfully! He is still a bit more tired than usual, but happy and silly. Guess what? Yesterday he walked four feet without holding on. I was f.r.e.a.k.i.n.g. out! 
And we saw a snake! I'm sure it was harmless, but I didn't stick aournd to find out.
Not for Mommy or for monkey or anything else. He pretty much thinks he's got the world figured out!
Thoughts about David and how he has taught me not to be so self-conscious, but just to play and laugh and dance. Thoughts about Matty and how life is so simple at three. The day is for playing and exploring and the littlest things can be the most exciting. Thoughts about Steve and how blessed and lucky I am to have married such a man. Thoughts about my sweet friends and my dear sisters and how I love to talk and connect and how they've touched my heart in so many ways. Thoughts about the stories you've shared with me about your loss and hurts and the joy you have experience through it all. I've jotted down some thoughts and I'll share more later, but for now, better get back to work! :)
