It use to be ridiculously hard when Toph went out of town. I am happy to admit, that it is getting easier and easier for me to send Toph off. When I ask myself Why? My honest answer is, I am not quite sure. I wonder if it could be that the kids are getting older, or it could be the realization (Yet again), that these kids keep growing up faster than I am prepared for, so I need to try to savor every moment, even the hard ones when I am worn out, or maybe it’s just a simple change of thought process, (while Dad is away, we’re going to find something special to do EVERYDAY that we will all look forward to). I am not sure..but I am grateful for the change.
This day it was a Taco Amigo picnic dinner at the park.
Lorelei and I enjoyed the ice water. (I LOVE ball Ice. Love, Love, Love it! And so does Lorelei.)

And this lovely picture is of Tucker, with beans in his teeth.
(We’ve hit that age where making weird faces, or doing gross things is cool in pictures. Ugh. Not loving this phase, but I think it’s just a boy thing, and he’ll grow out of it. I can hope that at least! 🙂 )
One reply on “While Daddy is away, we will play!”
I love ball ice too!! Is is the best thing ever. Andrew can get whole entire orange jugs of it from UVU, which he brings home and shares will all of us ice eaters. Yumo!
