This life is busy.  This life is good.

Today we did more of yesterday.  The mini-us has had low-grade fevers and a runny nose the past few days, but it hasn’t stopped her from running me ragged!

We did some puppy-care.

We assisted with the mowing-of-the lawn (after a 3-week hiatus!)

And then we played in the sprinkler.

After all of that, we decided it was a good day for “peesa” for dinner.

Even our angel, Piper, joined us for peesa.

We’re still working on using utensils…but making strides!!

My husband took this next one of me…I said, “I’m never in the pictures…I want her to know I was here too”…and handed my camera over.  On first glance, my thought was “ehhh, trash it.  It’s out of focus, yada yada.”  I read an article on a blog today that has been shared amongst several photographer friends of mine that talks about this same mindset…and while I whole-hartedly tend to agree, this time I changed my mind.  Sure, it’s not a great picture.  For one, it’s not “technically” a great photo…and I certainly wasn’t prepared to have my picture taken today.  I look tired, my hair is a complete disaster, my makeup is probably from yesterday…but I also look happy.  Happy to have this time with my little family…happy to have so much love in my heart…happy to be more accepted by these two people than anyone else in the world.  And I am…happy, that is.

Or maybe it was just reeealllllly good peesa.
