We’ve been having normal life lately. It’s so nice.
Gregory takes daily swing rides. When our neighbors noticed Bronwyn vigorously “helping” her brother swing, I mentioned something about the first child being made of china, but the second child is made of plastic. “It looks more like he needs to be made of rubber,” our neighbor replied dryly.
Bronwyn remains fascinated with horses. “Ho’se? Ho’se?” And one of us has to go get Gregory to put on her back for a horsey ride.
A friend loaned us her Bumbo seat. Gregory likes to sit in it and think Deep Thoughts About Life. (Notice the spoon in his lap? He’s still looking for it in his hand.)
And this happened the other day when I combed Bronwyn’s hair into braided pigtails for the first time.
I laughed so hard.
There’s a peek into our daily lives. I’d love a peek into yours!

There is something magical about ordinary days, I heartily agree! I loved the pictures. The pigtails made me giggle. You have a beautiful little family, and I’d love to meet them and see you again, too. š

Yesss. Sister and brother do look alike. Their aunt agrees with me ,too. Wish I could take they to the park. My walk tonight was cut short. Dad thought a storm was coming.

Hi Jennifer.
It’s Ruth here. I just wanted to tell you that your book ‘one thousand gifts’ came back to Scotland with me! I hope you don’t mind.
If that is OK, I will give it a read as soon as I can but don’t worry, I will make sure it gets back to you (either in person, or by mail.)
Nice to see pics of the kids! Very sweet! I had to laugh at Gregory still looking for his spoon…
Love Ruth

Loved your post, Jen. “Notice the spoon in his lap? He’s still looking for it in his hand.” Thanks for the laugh. š Your children would be a delight to know. Not to mention seeing you again would be delightful as well. š

Rosita and LaRonda — it’s so hard to believe that some of my friends have never even met my children. I wish so much we could get together again.

Yay for normal life! You guys look great. The photos of the jolly jumper and the Bumbo take me very vividly back to our own two young’uns. I’m hoping to email one day really soon with a more detailed “Wendy and Korey” update. Lots of love to you all!
