::Day 3:: He read me his Thankfulness book!#goodmorning #momentscaptured #dpp2014

December 2

My sweet. He came in my room early this morning and said, "Mom, stay in bed."  He jumped in under the covers to get warm and gave me a big hug. Then darted back up the stairs to the kitchen. A few short minutes later he was there again with a big grin and a plate of food. Daddy followed with a cup of coffee.  "Here mom, I made you breakfast in bed!"

A flutter of my heart and I fell a little more in love with my sweet son. He is such a servant and seeks to bring joy.  He loves me. He wants to be near me. I will cherish moments like these for days and days to come. Thank you Lord for giving me my Evan.

Runner up for the day:

Bread cornucopia turned elf hat.

Like Father, like Son!

I love them both!

Doodling

Just a snapshot of what usually happens to Mama's lists when she isn't looking.

He's quite a doodle bug, and it's pretty darn good. ♥ my Evan.

Peachy July

When a friend sends a text letting you know that their peach trees are ripe, loaded, and ready to be picked, but they are out of town on vacation for another week or more. 

When she she says the house keeper is expecting your call. Please go pick peaches for your family because the peaches taste like candy. 

YOU GO AND PICK YOU SOME PEACHES! 

Forget about the 100 degree weather. They are sweet and juicy.

Take a stroll down to visit the chickens. Cock-a-doodle-do a bit.

Soak in the joy summer-time brings.

Peach moon of July's night sky.
We were a sweet, sweaty, sticky mess of FUN!  Thank you Dodd family!

Then the return home. 

The work begins.

All for Jam!

First bouquet of Spring

He squealed with joy and ran fast.

Grinning wide, he holds out his open hands filled with gold, glorious gold!

"These are for you Mom."

"For your table."

He loves me.
I adore him more than he will ever know!
These moments are treasures in my heart.

Thank you sweet Lord for Spring Days.

Nadia's Birthday Celebration

Our sweet birdie turned ONE year old February 1st.

Oh how she had weeks of celebration.  On her actual Birth Day, Grandma and Grandpa Lucas took her to The Amazing Pizza Machine. I mean where else would a birthday girl want to go? Though she was a wee one for most games, she loved every minute of the noise and lights. Big brother had a blast letting loose and playing with Gpa Steve.

It was my first time ever to Pizza Machine. What a fabulous place to burn off kiddo energy. What a fabulous place to pick up germs. I hate to say but that is what was going through my head the entire time we were there. Protective Mother bird I am.

He saved me from being eaten! "Wresting dinosaurs is my past-time."

Love those sleepy lips.

Birthday celebrations continued through the next week and we celebrated with family. The little love 'turned on' the charm and worked the crowd.

Love being close to family.

Evan helped make our Happy Birthday banner and hanging yarn balls. He was so exciting to help with Sissy's party.  These notes were hung all around the house.

Happy Birthday Sweet Little Birdie of mine.
