Lately D and I have racked our brains trying to come up with the best solution for his mom. I can't begin to sum up the situation; it's complicated no matter how simply or realistically or logically or patiently it is approached. So hard to hit these road blocks in life! Staying up late nights, going in circles. In general, I hate when with any given problem... after you talk about it endlessly... the subject becomes numb after a while and you really just want to cut it off like... I don't know, a dead toe?
Speaking of which, I have not felt very "brainy" lately. Everybody goes through those times. Please tell me it's true! I attempt to don one of these:
But to no avail. Thinking caps do nothing for me anymore. They used to, but I feel like a vacant lot walking around, talking in circles these days. Feeling like not much of what I feel/want to do/need accomplished has any path for success. Can't wait for some of that fresh spring air we've been promised to whirl its way into my stagnant old winter-worn mind!
Codi - Crosby has developed a love affair with the birthday apron. He calls it his "cake" and prefers to wear it with nothing underneath.
Thus it is totally worth the back shot. And thank you, because FINALLY I can get him to wear a bib of some kind when he eats his oatmeal!
Crosby has been calling his grandma "Munga" for quite some time now. It is officially her name now. D no longer addresses his mother as "mom." It's Munga. And she and Croz love to watch Land Before Time together. It's funny - sometimes they almost resemble dinosaurs, with their necks outstretched, waiting to see what happens next :)
This would be an example of my "dead brainedness" going on lately... feeling the crafting urge but this is as far as it got: a collage of my trip with Jess! Still I love it though!
My mom is in the know when it comes to cool things to do as a fam on a Saturday. We hit the TOSH open house and scored with "health food swag" and free rides up to the fire engine tower. Crosby is in love with fire engines; it was unspeakably cute to see him literally dancing in front of it and patting the enormous wheels over and over with the most satisfied smile. It was as if the fire truck was a new puppy; he couldn't keep his hands off of it!
This is a special shot: Claire is SMILING!
Da boyz
As the Life Flight helicopter chopped its way over to land, not only did the debris about knock Crosby over, but the sheer sight of it... he was in awe. I had to go over as a sucker spotter; he almost lost it.
As soon as they landed everyone went over to explore and ask questions and 30 seconds into it they said, "Back up, we've got a call, we have to leave now!" Busy day for Life Flight. Really it was quite moving to silently watch them fly in. Kind of like when I hear the national anthem at a parade or say the Pledge of Allegiance... really a neat experience and it makes you grateful for people who spend their lives helping other people.
