my two


oh these boys. cj is three. he is smart and sweet and wants to know about everything. he loves charlie brown and trains and diego. he's loved by every one who knows him. cody took him to his first day of primary and when they walked in a little late, the entire room exploded with, "cj!" kids were running up to show him where to sit and they put a sunbeam crown on his head and sang to him. cody said it took a bit to settle all of the kids down again afterwards. he's such a social butterfly and will talk to any and every one he sees. and then there's joe. my joe. goob. the goobs. he'll be two in april. he's gentle and easy. so easy. not social like cj- joe will make you work for it a little more- but he's always laughing, just like his dad. he walks like cody too- a little pigeon-toed. he is brave and always game for anything. there is so much confidence in him already. the quiet kind though. he loves playing with any ball he finds, dancing while cody plays the mandolin, playing in dad's truck, and me. he let's me snuggle him any time i want. it's going by so fast. my heart aches.

joe

our baby joe is 6 months- the time has flown- this was his first time eating oats and bananas-
he is not impressed- can't say i blame him- life is too short to eat oatmeal and i like my bananas in bread. poor kid- i couldn't help laughing at his little face-

sweet ceej....


he's so awesome- two days away from 4 months- i know everyone says it goes so fast but i can't believe it- take him to the doctor on thursday for some shots- they're gonna try to give him 5 but he's only getting two- just two for now- then maybe two more next month. he's getting eyebrows finally. was looking a little whoopi goldberg for a while. cody and i have been thinking a lot about alaska- we could be moving soon- crazy cause we really crave the adventure of it but there's so much more to consider now- gonna be praying tons for sure-

i can do this....

cj's been asserting himself lately- really nuts how mad he can get- sometimes he looks at me like a defiant teenager and he's only 4 months. this is new for me and i'm feeling a bit flustered. just put him down for a nap and finally he's stopped yelling at me. gonna go check on him...shoot- still awake but he didn't see me- this is hard.

santa fe- are you there? do you swear you won't forget me?....



cody and i took bubbs to santa fe this weekend. our awesome friends, eric and lissa, invited us to stay with them in a cozy place right in the middle of town- couple of blocks from the o'keefe museum. so, sooooo sweet! we ate yummy food and spent time in this little, rare book shop with a gorgeous collection of books that i'll never buy cause i'll never be able to afford them. and then there was o'keefe. she. is. my. biggest. fan. i mean, i'm her density. i mean, her destiny. i just love her. ceej was so good at the museum. people kept commenting on how sweet he was. he's got the greatest face too- with two sets of eyebrows. soft and happy or cocked and cynical. argh! i love him! lissa snuck the photo of ceej in front of one of the paintings- isn't she great?- apparently georgia puts my boy to sleep- good times.

lucky me...

i can't believe how lucky i am. i get to stay home every day and hang out with my kid. really didn't know it would be like this- thought for some crazy reason that i would feel unfulfilled. cj does something new every day- i laugh all of the time- in the early morning when he's hungry and cody's gone to work, i pull ceej into bed with me and we fall back to sleep together- yesterday i woke up and he was smiling at me with his arms stretched over his head- just waiting for me to open my eyes- i feel sad for women that have to leave their babes with someone else- it's so fleeting- i'm looking at his pajamas with the rhino's on the feet- they're too small for him now- my heart is in my throat. today we were laying under the tree in our front yard and cj was kicking his feet and waving his arms frantically- trying so hard to say something. can't wait to hear what he has to say- hard to believe it only took nine months to make this sweet, perfect boy.
