it's tough being a kid

 as i look at these pictures, i think, wow what would it like to be a kid again
and to be "free" not a care in the world
of course, these boys have things they care about

and to them, these things do matter
do i take things too seriously?
am i going to look back on my life "now" and think
wow?! why didn't i enjoy that season of my life.

i need to be better at getting excited about the little things in life
like sleeping under my bed
do you think dusty would do sleep under the bed with me?!

even just looking out the window
and being grateful for things i see
and for the freedom i enjoy and take for granted on a daily basis

i heard gray screaming but i couldn't find him!
he climbed up these stairs and didn't attempt to go back down
he is our cautious child :)

gray has a special bond with cooper

cooper's coloring, not too bad.
the rest of his picture was "almost this good" :)
