Not many words, though plenty of them are swirling around this pollen-fogged head of mine. While four children lounge on a couch, watching Little Bear on an overcast summer morning, I will post photos.
Lots of growing. Babies make you stop and say, “Oh my!” Seven-year-old-boys who are almost eight don’t scream for attention in the same way. They slip quickly and steadily toward manhood and suddenly my heart is in my throat and I want to yell, “Stop!” They don’t stop. If they did, mothers would squander (we’re human beings, prone to a bit of lazy and selfish, after all.) They don’t stop, and so I must live purposefully. Give, sow, love. Every day.

Really Danica. I just LOVE all the pictures of your kids that you put on your blog. I feel like I’m a tiny part of your life and their lives. You’re richly blessed! Just remember, all the effort is SO worth it. God bless! :)
Love the pics! Can’t wait till we see you all in a bit!
