My arm is scorched,

but I'm loving it! With all the driving I do, my left arm gets quite a bit of sun exposure. Especially yesterday! I l-o-v-e-d it! I knew my arm was getting too much sun, but I didn't care. I was just soaking it all up. My brain was telling me "Move your arm.....it's too hot.....you'll get a burn." I just told it to be quiet! Thank you Lord for a beautiful day.

One update I forgot to mention......drum roll. The Twins learned how to, wholly and completely, ride their two wheel bikes. Oh yeah, and Joey's tooth is loose. I'm mourning. He's the last one to have firsts. The first tooth lost, ends here. I've seriously been teary about it. They (the Twins)now tie their own shoes too....and occasionally will make their own lunch. The ending of the firsts is beginning. My babies are all gone. I feel like sometimes I didn't hold them enough, like I was (and there were times I truly was) enduring through certain stages. *wailing* I MISS MY BABIES! I need to change the subject, I can't see through my blurry eyes to type. I am not remembering all the sleep deprivation, or stinky pants, but all the good stuff. Yet, I'd do it all again in a heart beat. What of changing the subject.......?

Thankfully, I have friends with whom I can spend time with that do have (or will have :) babies I can cuddle. There is my comfort! What weird creatures mother's are. =) (present company included!)

I knew you'd love it! It was a beautiful day! You're right, mothers are weird and wonderful ... most of us feel the very same way! Love you, Mom : )

Thanks again for the reminder to enjoy these days, as tiring as they are. Hang in there - you have so much freedom (no diaper bags or trips to public restrooms for emergency potty training events) and excitement (playing together) ahead of you.
Yes, the sunny weather was WONDERFUL...Have a great week!

For as much as my little babies drive me crazy sometimes, ooh, the snuggling...the kisses on the neck, the smooches on the cheeks, the little hands on my face! I'm not ready to give that up yet!
