- As much as my boys fight they really do love each other. A is at outdoor ed this week and E has mentioned every single day how much he misses his brother.
- A child's laughter has to be the most magical sound on earth. Last night we were joking about how I am the only normal person in the entire family. E asked what was "weird" about everyone else. I listed off silly things my sisters did in our childhood. E got the giggles and it was just fantastic.
- Letting A go to outdoor ed, and other functions away from home, is not as hard as I had imagined. I take comfort in knowing that we raised him to have a level head and be comfortable enough in his own self to not be fretful to leave us.
- I REALLY, really, REALLY, want to take photographs as a profession. Even a side job. I love playing with the camera, learning how to use it, finding a good angle, the perfect shot. I like nature shots and children. Kids have no sense of self-conscious. They are just full of joy and happiness. Even the innocence of a pout or sadness is beautiful.
- I truly love the state of Colorado. Our weather is magnificent. On Monday we had a record high of 80 and we got 8 inches of snow yesterday.
- The older I get the more I realize that every single person that comes into your life does so for a reason. The ones that really annoy you, irritate you, make you mad, you can learn how NOT to behave. Those that are amazing and caring and loving can teach you what attributes you should strive to possess.
- A puppy's first snow storm should be captured on film. I wish I would have had the forethought to grab the camera when I let Dyson out into the snow yesterday. He barked at every snowflake and tried with all of his might to not let his paws touch the snow. He is precious.
