Having the kids see their grandparents. What a blessing for you guys to have your parents so close. <br /><br />Shima<br />ps.

I remember thinking that Andrew would probably skip the dinosaur phase since he was so fascinated with cars and trucks. I was wrong. <br /><br />I wish we could go to London. It feels like London today, so rainy and grey here.alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170652655203156977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33740831.post-39016883956804855492009-05-03T05:30:00.000-04:002009-05-03T05:30:00.000-04:00I wish I lived in your life.

If our lives were a Venn diagram, the circles would barely touch every year or so, on the day we take our boys to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving point, for example.

I can't believe I never went there while i was living with you. I love your blog and I love you. I can't wait to see you this summer. It will be an amazing trip I hope. <br /> and yes my dad Had bonsai tree phase I believe my mom and I are the reason it died.Katie Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15001951894437917091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33740831.post-1261129721734161682009-05-01T15:31:00.000-04:002009-05-01T15:31:00.000-04:00That really is fun that you and your boys can go o...That really is fun that you and your boys can go on so many outings with your dad. We wish we had some family nearby! Andrew and Will will have lots of wonderful memories with them. You are a wonderful mom. <br /><br />I've never been to the National Arboretum, but I'm sure I'd love it! These pictures are beautiful! <br /><br />Also, I can't wait to see you guys again this Summer. Benjamin talks all the time about going to Utah after his birthday. July is coming up so fast! It will be wonderful to get the boys together again!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16092323690627099241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33740831.post-21261482191387089252009-05-01T12:18:00.000-04:002009-05-01T12:18:00.000-04:00I really love that pic of Andrew, your dad and Wil...I really love that pic of Andrew, your dad and Will behind that magical bonsai bc it looks normal-sized that way.

He must be loving the ability to go on fun outings with them. <br /><br />You are far more adventurous as I am when it comes to outings with the kids. I feel like I deserve a medal just for a successful trip to the local park.<br /><br />I was laughing when reading the part about passage of time, especially about the car part. I was thinking there is no way that your dad could at this point purchase a car that would outlive him. Then I remembered your suburban (I think it was a suburban) and your mom vowed it would NEVER die.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06020777352457566810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33740831.post-28254035328436744782009-05-01T09:13:00.000-04:002009-05-01T09:13:00.000-04:00It's a testament to your motherhood skills that yo...It's a testament to your motherhood skills that you have so many pics of your kids with huge [obviously sincere] smiles.
