The shape of daily life.

And so the week is gone

Posted on | December 16, 2007 |

I’ve been sick. A major yucky head cold + fever combo that has left me wimpy and whining watching re-runs on TV. I hate being sick. Especially around the holidays. To distract you from the abundant LACK of posting going on around here, pretty pictures:


My boys whispering in the early morning light, while I got up, snuck downstairs and slipped something into Bean’s advent box.


Breakfast this morning. The thrill (yes, it really is) of going to the coop and getting freshly laid green or blue shelled eggs has not warn off. Talk about fresh.


The kitchen, post breakfast. The penguin’s name is Snowflake, and Bean is in love with him.


Feeding the sheep & lamas is a regular weekend activity. I love the lama’s eyelashes, and the way the barn always smells sweet with hay and is warm with animal breath. Our neighbor’s always put on a full nativity play in their barn every year. All the local kids act out the parts, and everyone sings carols and eats cookies & goes sledding afterwards. So fun.


Getting the newspaper on the way back from our walk. We sled down to the bottom of our drive, then pull the paper up.


My little mischief maker, “helping” me make Christmas cards.

    I love that first picture. It’s new and fresh and unlike anything I’ve seen in the family blogosphere. Why is that? Why do we see so few father-son intimate moments, I wonder.

    RE: Jill’s comment, I think that we don’t often see bedroom settings in general. I think the bedroom is such a private setting and to see something like this is out of the norm. It is a lovely photo though and makes me want to bundle up and sleep all day!

    Where do I place my order for 2 fresh blue eggs, 3 llamas with silky lashes, a sled, and a pile of snow to go with? Let me know.

    I have that same set of stamps and my daughter had the time of her life taking the letters apart!
