this photo of sea and story's joyful play together was taken about a year ago...but i haven't uploaded current photos on my husband's laptop and just wanted to jot a quick note while on our road trip...we are in a residence inn just outside of portland (lake oswego)...s and s are happily watching clifford the big red dog...i think he has taken the forefront as their favorite over "monkey george"...normally i would be concerned that we started this vacation over a week ago and i haven't written anything down...but for now at least i'm ok being in the moment, reflecting back, looking forward to the last 5 days of our trip...s and s are giggling in front of me and i want to grab my phone to get a quick video but i'll soak it in and stay in the bed typing...
just got out of a hot bath, had an early breakfast with just "mommy and sea time" while m and story slept (scrambled eggs with olives, green onions, salsa...oatmeal with cinnamon, walnuts, blueberries...yogurt...melon...coffee)...feeling at peace with how little i need to do and options if i want to...perhaps hanging out with ana at some point today...dinner with wendy and her family...
i usually like to get an overview of a town...go to a couple key spots, see downtown, etc. but we have done those things before and so we've been enjoying the hotel pool each day, seeing friends...
i couldn't take the out of control giggling anymore without videotaping it...of course now that i have the phone poised and ready the funny part of the cartoon is over...
it is almost 11 and all of a sudden i just want to sleep...
sea is looking forward to watching "the dog ruhi likes"...i'm annoyed with clifford right now...some little dog named cleo is talking about how she is afraid no one will like her dancing...children don't need any help with role modeling insecurities...
alright, just wanted to check in...off for a little mid-morning nap!
heh, i know which clifford episode you're talking about! enjoy your family time!
