Today is my sweet O's birthday. I am so happy that he is in my life. My mom likes to say that he goes to the beat of a different drummer-I say he is the drummer.
His latest thing is to tell people that when he was a baby he looked just like George Washington. You know, because he and GW had curls on the back of their head.
He is 7 now, so that means that we are a long way from baby hood. This past weekend I brutally cleaned out a closet that had a lot of baby things in it. It's all in piles waiting for me to find it new homes-via freecycle, craigs list, friends, or goodwill.
We have a few things left-just the things that I'll give to the boys when they start a family-and their hospital shirts/hats that I will probably never give up.
Mostly, I am in awe over just how fast time goes by when you are watching children grow. And I really enjoy my children most of the time. They do have their own flaws, but I recognize them and love them warts and all. I feel like they are one of the things that I was put on this earth to do. They are one of the purposes of my life. With out me, my 3 children would not be here discovering the world.

October 20.
Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was very cute and funny. She moved into an apartment with a room mate and had a job. One day, she stepped out of her apartment and met her next door neighbor. She was wearing Doc Martens, a camo shirt, and had her hair styled in Princess Leia buns. He was wearing a ratty t-shirt, no shoes, and had the ugliest dog she'd ever seen.
It was love at first sight. For him.
They were friends. Then they dated. Then they got engaged. Then they got pregnant. Then, they had to move the wedding back 6 months so that the bride could see her feet on her wedding day.
Now, they live in a little house, in a little town, with 2 beautiful children, 2 bad dogs, 2 horrible cats, and a backyard flock of chickens.
It isn't easy, but nothing really is. They have each other when life sucks and when life is grand. And isn't that how it's supposed to be?
