A day for music and discovery

Day two of Dave's absence and we are doing ok! Missing him like crazy but making the most of a little mom and boys time! Again it was a beautiful spring day and still way to nice to waste on the indoors. After motivating with a quick trip to sips for a six shot coffee, we returned to once again be absorbed into the love of gardening! This time the back yard was tackled, while the boys played and explored in a garden space of their own. Nothing like innocent help to trample the new buds, boys you can help by digging over there!


The boys loved playing on their swing set although Harry will be the first to say he is to old for it and then the first one to play on it. Thomas was so proud for learning how to swing himself today thanks to the guidance of big brother!


Harry was intrigued by the ladybug we found on a magnolia bud, it crawled on his hand for a fleeting second before taking off for safety, as did Thomas with the mere mention of bug, ack he is still so scared of any and all bugs, no matter how un-scary they really are.
A few hours in the garden had passed and boy did my legs feel it, gardening is quite the workout!! The boys had played in and out all afternoon, but when they disappeared for a while I became curious and was relived to rest for a bit. To my surprise I found Thomas inside playing the keyboard and writing his own music. He had dug out the key board, put new batteries in and was writing notes and words while he played...gorgeous happy boy!


He was writing a song about his brother called...thank you! What a sweet little guy, there is hope for these two yet!

Thank you so much for blogging again. I suppose spring has motivated you in more ways than just gardening. The boys look great and so much older. Isn't it lovely that they want to help you in the garden; but I really feel moving to Asia is a good step!
love you all, miss you all.
