Sewing for Cherubs

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

Radar and Superman, driving the "car" they made out of blocks today.

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.

Dinner for Two (not for Five)

Because sometimes, you've just gotta.

(P.S. Come back tomorrow for some exciting news on the sewing front!)

Confession Time

This is the stack of intelligent, thoughtful books that I keep on my nightstand for bedtime reading.

This is what you will catch me reading when I've just gotten home from the grocery store.

 

This is the organic milk, with added healthy ingredients, that my children drink.

This is how I get them to drink it.

Dizzying Heights

First time on an amusement park kiddy ride, as photographed by me from the perspective of my wonderfully fearless toddler.

(Yep, this means I found the USB cable. I suppose you think that means I got my unpacking done, huh? I will have to plead the fifth on that one.)
