Sleep Song for My Girls

I love poetry, just like I love the lyrics of a good song.  Tonight while I was reading some poems, I stumbled on this sweet poetic reminder of my two little girls (not so little any more?).  This poem is called "Sleep Song" and it is written by Ephemera.  I tweaked the ending just a bit to work for both of my "girls".


sleep song

Bedtime, little moonbeam.
See the stars? They're sleepy, too—
all blinky-eyed and snuggled in
like you need to do;

but the very, very moment
that you drift off into slumber,
the whole world sighs and smiles
at you, its dreaming little wonder,

and the bunnies in their hutches
and the sparrows in their nests,
they sleep, too, my little moon,
all fuzzy, warm and blessed

to have spent another perfect day
with perfect girls like you.
Now tomorrow waits to meet you,
and I'll be waiting, too.

Our Unique Tree

 Six Unique Things About Our Christmas Tree

Instead of decorating our Christmas tree with expensive, delicate ornaments, we like to decorate with simple, fun and even goofy things.  The kids always get a kick out of it, and the tree just feels like home.

#1 - We have rock stars on our tree!

 #2 - Kissing Fish???

#3 - A monkey wearing shades and eating a banana


 #4 - Not sure if this is a self-portrait of my kids, 
or if they were trying to put Mick Jagger
on the tree. :-)


#5 - Electric Guitars on our tree


#6 - Shyaka, our sponsored child from Rwanda

Dads and Daughters

A Hallmark Greeting Card 
from my Girls today...
 
 
There was a Dad
who had a Daughter.
Swung her.
Spun her.
Chased her.
Caught her.
Hugged her.
Loved her.
Praised her.
Taught her.
Oh, what happiness
he brought her!

Happy Father's Day
from that Daughter.

Roller Skating Fun

Carolyn, Ben and Lindsey absolutely love to roller skate.  Hanging out and being silly with friends is one of the best parts of skating.  On a recent trip to the rink I tried to capture some of the fun and silliness on video.  Sadly, Ben was not with us during this trip, but Carolyn and Lindsey's friends Karter, Emily and Catelin were.  Hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed putting it together!
