    Impatiently waiting for Sunday morning sleepyheads to come down and feed them. Sophie with her dad. Long gone are the days of having to hold her hand the entire practice as (very kind) fellow parents would run and grab my crazy then-toddler boys every time they made a beeline for the parking lot. After oh, I don't know, a gazillion unsuccessful swim lessons in their now 7 years of living we splurged on this place thanks to a Groupon. And they put their faces in the water (sort of). Sometimes the smallest things can feel like the biggest wins. dogwood at night (would like to say it's moon glow, but in reality it's gas station lights glow) bike ride view I played hooky on the kids' last day of school and went out on a 10-mile bike ride with my parents, with lunch in between. Last day of 1st, 3rd and 1st! Looking forward to a fun summer with these kiddos, and so thankful to Mr. Jones, Mrs. Bernhard and Mrs. Klei for a great school year! Someone decided these two could cross over from bears to wolves. And then these two swindled us into sleeping in our bed tonight "because it's our birthday." And ... this made me cry. Current favorite colors: hot pink (Owen) and orange (James) red plate dinner 7! This little bird flew into our glass storm door. Stunned and not moving we did a quick Internet search, found a box and punched holes it, added a towel and with another towel placed it in the box to recuperate. A half hour later we checked on it (with a warning to the kids that they don't always survive). It stared at us and all five of us stood like statues and then whoosh! Up it flew into a tree. Thankfully. Grandma was out of town on Sunday so we had two Mother's Days! Sophie's (apparently I harp on about kindness a lot, which may explain the eye rolls that I now get) and James's cards (no one in this family can believe it's possible for someone to like Brussels sprouts and yet I do). My grandpa helped get the no-longer-used railroad track in front of their house turned into a bike trail "rails to trails" long ago. Wish he could see these kiddos enjoying it!
