Here I sit. Nothing to say, nothing to do . . OK well plenty to do, but it is the Sabbath after all and I shouldn't work on the Sabbath. Sounds good to me, how about you?
Had a great time at Rob's & Brianna's yesterday for Arianna's Pixie (Tinker Bell) Birthday party. Had fun, mostly, making "Pixie Hollow" for Arianna. Used up some stuff I had laying around and bought some odds and ends to finish it up. I don't know where the idea came from except that I would love to have had something like it when I was a little girl. My pretend friends were fairies back then. Funny that there is so much around us right now to do with fairies.
Had a very pleasant time at church this morning, even with two restless little boys in tow. They were pretty good for us. Hope it gave Mariah a little break.
Tonight we had them over for a simple little dinner. What a thrill to be able to hold little Lynneah in my arms. We have all been a little too busy to hold her, when she wasn't all tied to the stuff in the hospital. She is changing every day. It is a little strange to have a grand child that isn't already obviously heavier than when she came home from the hospital, but certainly not complaining, mind you!
I have been wondering a couple of other things as well. Gabriel, do you know that I love it when you want to curl up in my lap? With all your sharp little elbows and knees, paining me and all, I do love it. Will you be as sad as Nanny will be when you just can't fold up all that long body of yours enough to fit anymore. It is a challenge, and has been for awhile now, but I do love to have you snuggle in, tell me that I am nice and soft.
Garrett, do you have any idea how much I loved it when you laid your little fuzzy head on my shoulder and snuggle in during conference this morning. I loved that you knew that when you swayed a little, I knew that you wanted me to rock you. Your Grandma Jo Clair says that you are so much like your daddy was growing up. Though I would love to know if he was a spacey jumping jack too? It is fun to watch him grow up.
Lincoln, it makes me feel so warm all over when you come and hold your chubby little arms up to me to be held. I love your funny little stories, just wish I could understand them! Our own little Linus, dragging his usually dirty little blanket every where. I just wish I understood why it MUST drag on the ground at all times.
Arianna, do you know that when you smile so big and give me a big ole' hug, it like the sun is shining and lighting up my world. I see so much of some of your older relatives in you and some of your mannerisms. It is like seeing them growing up all over again. I have wondered if it might be your great grandmother Francis coming out in you. I know those beautiful brown eyes are mos likely from her!
Tati Pearl, (Tatianna was born on Pearl Harbor day) as always, your smile makes me and everyone around you smile. I love it when you come, back up to me and lean on my knee or shimmy upon my lap. I never know what to expect from you. You are all snuggles with a cute story thrown in or distant as can be. Your smile lights up your cute little face so much and it is so fun watching your mommy coming out in you more ever day. It is fun watching her grow up, since I didn't know her at the time.
So to answer my own question, "No my life isn't getting boring, just been pretty quiet again. Not sure how long it will take for me to grind, I mean, change my gears!
Back in AZ July Fun! 24th of July, Pioneer Day!
