Last Thursday, I was going to write a post about how Alethea picked one of my childhood dresses from her closet when she got dressed in the morning and how she looked so cute in it.
I was also going to mention that her favorite book right now is Bats at the Library and whenever she ‘reads’ another book outloud, she quotes from Bats. Thus, instead of being about a mother’s undying love for her little one, The Runaway Bunny ends up sounding like this, “We’ve feasted, fluttered, swooped and soared, and yet we’re still a little bored.”
It was going to be a very amusing post. I’m sure you would have enjoyed it.
On Friday (and then again on Saturday) I was going to write a post about how I was working on Alethea’s “Year 2” photobook and in the process I rediscovered some photographic gems that never made it onto the blog. Pics like this one of Alethea at the zoo for example:
And this one of the girls right after Lydia was born:
It was going to be a really fun post and I’m guessing you would have been so inspired by the pictures that you’d have gone out and made a photobook of your own.
Sunday was Father’s Day, so naturally I was going to write a post about Peter, saying how I think he’s the best Dad in the whole world and how the girls and I are so blessed to have him in our lives.
I was thinking that I would also wish a Happy Father’s Day to my Father, Father-in-Law and Grandfather who are all such loving and supportive people.
I have no doubt that it would have been a very touching post. Most likely you would have been moved to tears while you were reading it.
However, as you know, I wrote none of those posts. Maybe this week I’ll find the time to be amusing, inspiring and moving. Or at the very least, maybe I’ll find the time to write a couple posts, even if they are nothing more than random thoughts floating out in cyber space. We’ll see how it goes.
Love the photos! I especially like Alethea in your little red dress.
cute post!
I guess I never saw any pictures of Alethea’s big girl room, but the wall behind her bookshelf = AWESOME! I’m inspired! And of course your family is beautiful! I love the pictures of Peter and Alethea, and it made me laugh aloud when you shared her favorite quotes from “bats”. hehe
Hopefully with all of this rain, you’re finding more flowers blooming! :-)
