These are the Days

There is a great song called "These are the Days" by Natalie Merchant (10,000 Maniacs). It's a song I remember from highschool. I remember hearing it for the first time, sitting in the auditorium. It played as we watched a slide show of the previous year. Now, watching our kids grow up and realizing how precious this time is in our lives, made me think of it.

"These are days you'll remember. Never before and never since, I promise. You'll know it's true that you are blessed and lucky. When May is rushing over you with desire to be part of the miracles you see in every hour. These are the days that you might fill with laughter until you break..."

Addison is almost six months old. Can you believe it? It doesn't feel like it has been six months to us. How time is passing. She will share her six month birthday with her Grammie Bohn, later this month!

She is such a little sweetie, her big smiles and ever-growing curiosity is so fun to see. She has started scooting and goes for what she wants. She's interested in everything around her--especially Mcayden.

Speaking of Mcayden...

Mcayden playing in a puddle outside. We love watching him entertain himself and have so much fun with simple things like this!

Mcayden practiced his multi-tasking skills, and while running his cars around in the puddle, he also washed his hair.

Fruit Salad...

This is the fruit salad I made for our MOPS brunch. I had to take pictures! I was so proud it turned out so nicely. (Val, thanks for helping me decide what fruit to put in it!)It looked and tasted delicious! It was funny because some people thought I cut the stars out with a cookie cutter--just like I had thought when I saw starfruit for the first time.
