Does it get old? The description of our Sundays? Because I could go on forever, and someday when we’re old and too feeble to make it to Isle of Capri (oh who am I kidding, I’d attach roller skate wheels to my walker and skate there if I had to)…looking back, I don’t want to forget anything…the grain of the old wood floor where Cubby plays, the way the apples of her cheeks shimmer from the slick sunscreen, the way the sand pools up into muddy craters when the tide is low…together, the sounds, the smells, the tastes… it all just makes one heck of a magical day.

Fear not. It’s not Kujo…it’s ‘Lil Girl, the Fish House resident dog…

And this is my Sunday bedroom…I lay on the raft and read and Cubby plays right there…forever. It’s quite heavenly, really

A ‘lil birthday present tee that just screamed “Brett”

…enjoying the small things…

bunnies are taking over the world. well, if not the world, then our neighborhood at least. and, be it that i’m not yet the cool gardener girl i’d like to be someday, our yard holds nothing for them to destroy. in fact, i’ll be sad when they’re gone ‘cuz they have inspired our latest nightly tradition …the bunny hunt. most of the time, she spots them before us.

in other news, in keeping with my tackle-the-wretched-sinus-infection theme this week, i overcame my fear of nasal sprays and tried Afrin for the first time today only to discover that….i am addicted to Afrin.

oh, and, cubs has a new trick which i have yet to catch on camera (but most certainly will). she crawls to the laundry room, stands up to the dryer, opens the door and digs around until she finds some cool undies…stretches them over her head, one eye peeping out of a leg hole, and crawls back out, undies and all, with a big smile that clearly says, “this is funny, right?” she’s done this three times now…i think funny kids are so cool.

TWO CUBBIES? too good to be true!

water is still her favorite…

…is a Hero.

A dear friend of our family, Eric Terhune, was killed in Afghanistan this week, and I’ve thought about it all day…how easy it is to forget that my freedom is given to me by the courage of others …like Eric. My heart breaks for his family, my friends.

To thank his family for his sacrifice, you can sign his guestbook here.

Thank you, Eric.
