Mondays

Garfield, the fat comic strip cat, hates Mondays. We, on the other hand, do not. Mondays around here mean that Great Gramma comes over. We make her lunch and live life at her feet. Four hours of Great Gramma time.

Every Monday!

This is what I wanted. All those years in Montana I raised kids that my extended family only got to see for a scant couple weeks a year. All those years I craved this- regular life at the feet of my loved ones. Now it's here. We have three months to be a family hugged by greater family. We have days of our normal routine capped off by casual dinners with my mom, or my dad and stepmom. Afternoons where we accidentally bump into my uncle.

Accidentally bumping into family members! 

I love my little family so much. I think our kids are cute and smart and funny. They are sweet and adoring. They are sleepy and crabby. They are perfectly themselves and now I get to share them with my larger family. 

Last night after teeth brushing Xi ran next door and my Dad read her a bedtime story. 

Yes.

I love that woman with all my heart and soul. This pic brings tears of joy to my eyes. Your dads looking mighty fine in that hat.
Love you all.
