Back

I need some place to store the adorable moments...so here we go. Nice and light.

Just thought this was funny and would share... sitting at the dinner table tonight Jacob told me he had a bad dream last night. Apparently he dreamt that Trump was chasing him and a couple other kids from class. In the dream they were all scared and asked Charlie, one of his friends, to help them because he knows the most about politics. Cracked me up.

Goodbye blogging world

It's been years of sharing, but now we are done.

There is so much to share but as the kids get older it feels unfair to create a record of them out in the blogosphere that their future selves have no control over. As things have gotten harder I have desired more to reach out and realize that this is no longer the forum for it.  With a now 7 year old I cannot talk about her and share our joys and struggles without feeling as though I am violating her privacy, her personhood, in some way.

It is time for this blog to come to a close. I will continue to share pictures via Google plus and emails, so let me know if you want to be added to that list.

Thanks for listening and being part of this..

My 7 year old!

Graffiti

Kate has taken to graffiti lately to express herself. Her bedroom wall states "I hate today" and our picnic table is inscribed with "Kate was here"... Clearly we are needing to step up our discussion about free speech.

My boy

Jacob's declaration: "Mommy, you are the best f**king mommy in the whole world."

Thanks kid! (Don't say that at school)
