Meanwhile

We've been pretty busy lately,

with wrestling and skiing

and birthday parties,

dentists and optometrists,

school and errands

road trips and funerals,

paper work and form completion

(more on that later),

and all those little day-to-day things

that keep a young family going.

And in the middle of it all,

they just keep getting bigger

more grown up

independent

amazing me with what they know

and what they're learning.

Making me bang my head against a wall

and making me laugh uncontrollably--

often both in the space of an hour.

Love them.
