Today

How do I start again?  What do I say?  What's my excuse? How can I possibly catch up?  
These are just a few of the many questions that run through my head when I contemplate a post.  I know the answers.  I'm okay with the answers.  Or so I tell myself. 

How do I start again?  Just do it.
What do I say?  What ever I want.
What's my excuse?  I don't need one.
How can I possibly catch up?  Who says I have to?

Just start.  Just write.  Just add a photograph.  Talk about today.  Or talk about 3 months ago.  Just do it.  Let go of should, could, would. 

So I start again.  With no promise of tomorrow or next week.  But a need for today. 


Cooper:
Has a face so beautiful it makes me melt
Came up behind me last week when I was washing dishes and randomly hugged me
Sent me a text and told me he loved me
Has consistently been getting 100's on his spelling tests
Has started baseball practice and STILL loves the game after all these years
Is listening better than he used to
Loves his iPod, the iPad and my iPhone
Has started spiking his own hair
Loves everything Under Armor
Still likes to sit on my lap, sit near me, sleep next to me, snuggle and know that I'm close by
Has almost no separation anxiety anymore
Has matured and become so grown up in the last year
Likes a tubby better than a shower
Is a morning person like me. Wakes up happy and never cranky
Is helpful
Loves tomato and fresh mozzarella salad
Is an absolute joy to have as a son

 
Duncan
Has a precious toothless smile at the moment
Slurs his speech a little because of his new expander
Balances on the edge of counters, chairs, stools, the tub and tables instead of sitting in chairs
Loves Top 40 music
Loves acting and performing
Is doing much better with his reading
Sleeps sideways, upside down, on top of me and on top of his brother
Has been know to fall out of bed
Is not a morning kid
Is the first to fall asleep (with me following close behind)
Loves all things creative
Loves art, crafts and decorating for the holidays
Loves legos, erector sets and anything he can build
Loves playing alone
Loves yogurt parfaits
Still wants me to carry him
Makes me cards, bookmarks, books, games and pictures
Is an absolute joy to have as a son

Today
I am pretty darn happy
I'm thrilled Spring is here
I'm looking forward to exciting new growth and ideas at work
I am totally loving my new tea pot
I'm really enjoying the story of HeLa cells
It makes me want to read The Warmth of Other Suns
But this and this look so good too...
I'm awaiting the arrival of my juicer in the mail so I can start my week long juice fast
I'm looking forward to taking the boys camping in a yurt with some friends in a couple weeks
I'm looking forward to a trip to Orlando and a trip to Dallas in April
I'm looking forward to picking the boys up tomorrow and kissing their sweet faces
I'm glad my mom and dad are home from the islands
My house is clean, my bed is made but I have a suitcase that still sits unpacked
