wonderful things

a card from my love, just because

zane's awesome new tie.  he wore it with a pale lavender dress shirt & his soft wool butterscotch-colored pants i got him from banana.  he looked smashing

i went thru my closet & found this scarf.  i remembered the way laura had draped hers when she came to visit me in florida. i tried it. zane called me his little arabic girl all day

zane concentrating really hard on his secret societies book he just bought.  has been glued to it ever since

i read "don't sweat the small stuff" & "simple truths" -good inspirational prose to keep fresh in my mind

the 4 of us took afternoon naps to the sounds of rain & sarah maclachlan

junebug curled under zanes leg.  i lifted up the blanket to show you- how could this little one not melt your heart!?

we gave them their first baths with us.  they didn't try to fight it.  they just stood there & let us lather them up with doggie shampoo.  junebug even let me blow dry her a little.  johnny ran away.

pix of our new living room- it finally feels cozy & homey.  i told zane that it feels like the first "grown up" living room we've ever had.  i'm not even sure i can pinpoint exactly why i feel like that.  anyway the feel of the room is totally thanks to zane.  he picked out pretty much everything.

it was overcast & stormy most of the afternoon... lots of rain showers & thunder.  the first thunderstorm we've had in awhile.  it was the kind of thunder that makes you believe there really could be giants in the sky bowling like the stories you read about when you're a kid.

the evening ended with a rainbow.  the apartments were glowing in the sun. so pretty

it was wonderful, quality, cozy family time.  couldn't really ask for more.
