Somewhere Along The Way

First written sentence by Tyler

Today as I walked in to get Tyler he was writing his first sentences.

The very first one:

I SEE THE OCEAN

Momma cried. That's our little surf rider baby.

Happy Valentine's Day 2012

Here they are, my valentines who woke up to hearts of Whitmans chocolates and cards from Momma and Daddy. I think we surprised them.

After a wonderful pre-valentine dinner at Olio's with Jillian and Bruce and Bill I had to get up at 5am to meet my gym buddy and friend Nancy for spin and a run. Ow!

So now a coffee, a shower, errands and prepare a Valentine for my hubby.

End of the Week

A birthday party for Auntie Bonnie's grandson and our last home meet of the season at the Mystic Y. That was our weekend!

Vacation

Tyler: "mommy, daddy's a dolphin"

Surprise! A special Lego for you!

Tyler: mommy mommy close your eyes I have a surprise for you

Me: okay, my eyes are closed

Tyler: okay open now

Me: wow! What is that?

Tyler: that's me making coffee for you!! See the coffee machine!

So precious!

February comes to a close

Friday it was so warm here, everyone was feeling Spring.  I walked around with Stormy picking up all those annoying twigs and branches that fell during all the varoius storms and then I spotted these

beautiful little snowbells.   

I got so excited.  Spring is truly on the way, I thought.  I tried to forget the fact that we still need to get through all of March. So today I sit at the computer typing, looking at the snowflakes (again).  We're supposed to get anywhere between ten and sixteen inches of snow today into tomorrow.  What will happen to my little snowbells? 

Daffodils peeking, forscythia budding and today Mother Nature says "Ha! Not just yet my dear so go get gas for that snowblower !" 

favorite things about you

Dear Tyler,

Picking you up from the Kids Korner at the Y after my workout makes me smile.  One of my favorite things is holding your hand and taking a long slow walk back to the car.  Right now you are toddling and getting really confident on your feet.  It doesn't matter whether it takes 10 minutes to walk back to the car every step with you brings me so much joy. These moments are better than anything I could ever ask for.  You and your brother are my greatest gift.

I love you

Mommy

  Here you are with your bunny book ! (another of mom's fav's! great illustrations!)
