It’s Sunday today, Amelia just turned 11 months old, and we need a day of rest…
So we took this day to cool our heels, rethink the projects and priorities, and to swim.
The girls have been so patient and fun through all of these last days and weeks,
but we needed to just play rather than play for moments in the line at a store or while driving to the next whatever.
Amelia, by the way, has reversed her previous decision to deeply dislike water (she went weeks without baths because I didn’t want to deal with the screams of terror!)
Today she went full throttle, crawling across the sand and right into the water.
Time and time again, she repeated her desire to sit.right.in.the.waves.
She must figure, she made it through teeth and water is not such a big thing in comparison.
Riana decided to mostly roll and play in the sand.
Then she was surprised, wondering how sand got all over her body…
But it was nothing a little ice cream couldn’t help fix.
Meanwhile, the big eleven monther was plum tired out from all that crawling and playing.
Yes, I think that we all needed this day of rest.
So we planted it, along with special dreams, wishes, notes, and things. It was already November (2007)
So tiny, can you find it in the picture?
I did not think of trees growing so quickly.
