Big Truck

Ryker LOVES trucks. My mom works for a trucking company and sometimes we go visit her office and get to see the big diesels fueling up. Lately Ryker has been asking for a 'big truck with a trailer' and we planned on getting him one for Christmas. But yesterday Adam was going through a box of his own childhood toys and found this little diesel truck. Ryker hasn't put it down since. He was SO excited to have his own 'big truck'.

I love this picture because this is how Ryker spends the majority of his day; stretched out on the floor, playing with his trucks and trains. I want to remember these sweet, quiet times.

Crochet ( a snapshot)

Only the second day and I'm feeling weird about this project. 'My life is not that interesting' I say. ' Nobody cares about what I do every day' I say. And then I remember that this project is really just for me, and that someday my kids might care about what I did every day, so I suck it up and post a photograph.

I've decided to crochet Alexa's blessing dress. So far I've started over three times because of issues with the fit, but now it is finally starting to come together. I've never crocheted something this delicate, with such small thread and such a tiny hook, but I'm getting the hang of it now, and hopefully I'll have it done in time.

Snapshot of my day

You've all seen the 365 picture projects. I decided to try one of my own. Each day I'll try (try) to post a snapshot of my day. This is basically just for me, something to remind me to slow down and enjoy the little moments. So, here is the first installment.

This is how I like to carry Alexa when I need to get things done and she wants to be held. I discovered babywearing when Ryker was born, and I loved it. Babies love it, too. Your movements rock them to sleep, they can lay right against your chest and listen to your heartbeat, and your rhythmic breathing calms them. I highly recommend it.
