...............................My yard thinks it is summer time. It is so exciting to see bulbs coming up and the trees all budding. I hope they survive the next blizzard. We really have had a mild winter so far. Only 2 late starts and 1 snow day. Boring.
It was so warm today I opened the windows and aired out the house. I need to water the lawn tomorrow.

Noah got his Sunday morning Migraine yesterday. They are such strange migraines. They only show up on Sundays and they only last about 3 hours. He got away with it yesterday. But only because he is so cute.

I made this hat for my very sweet nephew, Tucker. He is such a cutie! It makes me very happy that he wore it to ask me to be his Valentine. Tucker, YES! Yes I will be your valentine!

Roland is flying today. He is trying to get back east and all the airports are backed up. Snow day back east.

I am reading the Ender's Game (Orson Scott Card) series with Noah and Ike. Pretty good stuff and pretty mild for SciFi. If you have a prepubescent boy, give him this book. Teenage boys like it too.

I got the old photo albums out today and nearly cried at how much I miss my young children.
One of these days I swear I am going to stop a worn out, overwhelmed mom at the grocery store and tell her to "Enjoy this time! It goes so fast!" And she will try to smile and say "thanks" while she is thinking, "ARE YOU FREAKIN CRAZY?!?!?"

I have flowers under my snow. Spring is coming soon. I hope. I bet R is having a hard time getting in anywhere though, yesterday was a mess. Upside is that we are on 2 hour delay. I LOVE the 2 Hour Delay!!!!!!!
Tucker is cute!
M read Ender's Game. I need to read it too.
Go ahead and tell the frazzled women. I know it, and I still feel and look frazzled. I love it, I treasure it, and I still love bedtime.
lately, i've been able to appreciate those moms who tell me to enjoy this precious time. i haven't heard strangers tell me it lately. like your sister, i do love their bedtime!
That baby boy is too precious. Bring him here to visit and we will do photos.
I get that all the time at the grocery store. While part of me wants to say, "You can take them for me!" I know that they always mean well, and usually compliment my kids on thier cuteness, so I get let them and smile. I really do love bedtime!
Thank you for making me LAUGH! Now, I will get back to my little ones who have been neglected while I blog around.
Tucker loves his little hat, and he especially loves to pull it down over his eyes! Thanks for making it for him! (And thanks for featuring him on your blog--he's very flattered!) :)
I'm with you on missing your children. The only remedy is having a grandchild. It doesn't take away the longing, but it's like a really soothing salve.
Jessica gets the "Sunday flu" at our house and it surprisingly lasts 3 hours too!
First things first - your new blog look is darling. I love the logo at the top! So cute!
Second...Rocky gets migraines on fast sunday. But they don't hit till the middle of church and he ends up glassy eyed and vomitting. Consequently, I haven't let him fast for about 5 months.
I haven't seen any flowers in my yard at all. But today I got so sick of looking at my ugly black pool cover that was literally falling into the pool that I pulled it off. Now my pool is pretty and blue. And very dirty with a ton of leaves in it. But that's okay. We'll get it cleaned out. I am so ready for springtime.
I miss my little ones too. They were so easy then, exhausting, but easy. I miss that!
Good post Robin! And again, I love the new look!
I love your header!! Love, love, love it!!
I miss my little ones also. There has to be a better plan than cute kids growing up.
I love your reminders to enjoy my little kids. I'm trying! (Cute cute blog, too.)
Kristen. Easy? Um. ok.
I know that it gets harder. I understand that. Totally. I even know that I will look back at this and feel like it was so easy then.... but today. Today didn't feel easy.
Tomorrow will. I'm sure of it.
Melissa, no... It's not easy, easy. It's just easy in that the trials come more in the framework of physical needs, food, sleep, clothing, making lunches, constantly "taking care" of them. But as you've already experienced with your older ones, it gets harder emotionally, developmentally - as in their sense of who they are and how they fit into the world. Which is draining in an entirely different way. Sometimes, it seems the physical care-taking was easier. However, I love this time more, because they are more themselves, more interactive on a less mind-numbing level. It's just worrisome in a different way all together.
