I see it! I see it! I see it! "What?" You ask. That baby from 5 years ago! He's not completely gone! This brightened my "sick mom" day.

The flowers and foliage have been tricked. Snowing again. Looking at a possible 3 inches today.

This antique fishing reel has been in Jon's family since 1902. Each father passes it to his son. They each carry the name Arthur. This will be passed to our Gavin Arthur Elijah in due time. Who doesn't love a family tradition?

Sometimes your brother is a super hero, confidant, or rival. Most of the time he is your best-friend! Enjoy it boys! You are bound together forever.

Dear Rhys,
May you always be filled with wonder! Search, question, and always look upward. I love you more each day! And...yes, Baby, I see the plane! It is amazing. :)
Love you always,
Mommy

We had the fabulous color guard and drum line at school today. The kids loved it. These kids are extremely talented!

Four and five-year-old soccer is hilarious! I love their faces in this one! Gavin is very determined. I feel sorry for the little ones who try to get the ball from him.

Jon thinks that being a father is hard work, regardless, he is a natural. These boys think the world of him.
Project 365-3/14/2011
We woke-up to an unexpected and unwanted snow shower. When is this winter going to be over?
Project 365-3/13/2011
Jake started vs. McKendree today. Here he is throwing a "heater." The boys think he is the "coolest!"
Project 365-3/11/2011
MeMaw and PawPaw are visiting. It is a cause for celebration. Hence, the throwing of Super-Balls in the house.

They watch TV with the same expression!
This picture makes me realize what Rhys will look like in 3 years and what Gavin looked like three years ago!
Project 365-3/08/2011
A combination of two year molars, not letting him eat another yogurt, and it raining. This boy has a set of lungs.
Project 365-3/05/2011
Gavin is obsessed with skee-ball! We had a blast in the arcade at Great Wolf Lodge.
The black lights made everything look neon.

Friday night Target run during a thunderstorm! The joys of motherhood and the need for milk!

In the midst...
I started a new journey, chapter, leg (whatever you want to call it) in January. I began to run. It started out slow. I have NEVER ran! I would do the madatory mile run while in school. I did the required laps for gym, softball games and practices, or running from my nuciance brother as a child, but I never ran just to do it. However, as this training has continued I am finding myself doing things I have never done. I leave the house, set a goal, curse, sweat, bleed, and achieve the goal day after day! I am half way to my goal. I have just a few short weeks left. I have finally realized that I am going to make it to the seven miles. Some way, some how I am going to do it. Will it be pretty? DOUBT IT! BUT I WILL DO IT! I set this goal to push myself. I have found a drive that I haven't seen in years and it feels AMAZING. My mind, body, and soul are thanking me!
It is a battle every day, but I just try to do better than before. I try not to worry about the time, but just to finish. This quote sums up my running today:
"Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself"
Wish me luck as the journey continues. Check back in April for the end result.

7:30 a.m. I was so inspired by the sun rising this morning. It seemed blanketed and soft. You could look right at it. Strong and approachable...something we should all strive for.
Project 365-3/02/2011
I try to do play time with the boys everyday. Just mom and the boys for 20 minutes. Today we did puzzles. Rhys has mastered all of the peg puzzles.
Project 365-2/27/2011
Uncles are great! Iphones are great! Uncles with Iphones make five-year-olds swoon.

Project 365-2/26/2011
We have this beautiful bush in our back yard. It almost always has leaves with multiple colors. Today was a dreary day and this was the only thing that didn't look "gray scale" and wintry!
Project 365-2/25/2011
My solitude! The couch, a glass of wine, the Kindle, sleeping children, and a husband out of the house. This rarely happens. I needed this after a stressful work week. TGIF!
Project 365-2/24/2011
Rhys is a running, climbing, yelling wild-man. He stopped for 20 seconds, long enough for me to take this sweet photo.
