Sewing for Cherubs

Wordless Wednesday :: In the Rain

{this moment}

This Friday I am inspired to play along with SouleMama's "this moment" theme. Happy New Year! 

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

 

A Hat, A Braid, and A Moment

The Princess is either lucky or unlucky, depending on how you look at it. Her mother is dedicated enough (or is that crazy enough?) to notice things like how cute that braid looks with that hat on a cold morning at the bus stop in just the right amount of sunlight, and just happens to have a camera in her pocket to record the moment for posterity.

 

Saturday Morning Superheroes

When Superman flies through the house in his pajamas, you know it's going to be a great day.

And when you bake banana muffins for breakfast instead of sleeping in, I'm pretty sure it's OK to call yourself Supermom.

Proof

From the summer vacation photos... proof that they really do like each other:

I will save this to show them when they are 14 and 16.

What Superman is Teaching Me

It's amazing what you can accomplish when you refuse to acknowledge your limitations.

Teamwork

Sweet Freedom

Today, the orthopedist gave us the long-awaited go-ahead. And tonight, I put my 2-and-a-half-year-old to bed with no casts or braces on his feet... for the first time since he was 10 days old.

It feels momentous.

We've still got a long road ahead of us. But, oh my sweet Superman, you sure have come a long way.

Saturday Morning

Here's what was going on around here at about 11:00 this morning while my husband was out with the big kids:

 

Yep, that's Superman and me, still in our PJ's. If you look closely, you'll see that I am sewing (see the pedal?) and he is coloring. Well, okay, I think at the moment I took this picture, he was actually peeling all the paper off of the crayons, but I promise there was a little coloring involved, too.

I just thought you might enjoy this little slice of my life on a Saturday morning. We won't discuss whether or not I'm still in my PJ's.

Lesson For Today

Leaves fall.

People fall. (And get back up.)

It's all good.
