Saturday.

Simon_526


Raining and stormy here today. It is actually very nice and refreshing after a couple of really hot days. Days in the 90's. Love the hot but like to have a break now and then. It is actually helping me get down to business after so many days of procrastination and not getting anything done in the studio. Too easy to just step outside and not come back in...


Simon_tea


Anyone else find they go through photo-taking phases? I have been out of it for awhile. Chris is always right on it though - thankfully. Last week he took this one of Simon drinking tea from an antique china cup. This will probably remind some of you of the photo I shared in the past of Simon and I eating red popsicles on our white couch. Just some of the silly enjoyments we have around here. He was so very careful and proud of himself.


Took the top photo of Simon this morning. The light was good. He was silly and smiley. Good times.


Also wanted to say thanks again for all the comments on the structure post. They will be ones I will read again when I need another swift kick LOL. And thanks for looking out for me - I am not being too hard on myself - wish you could hear me talk about it so you could hear my sarcasm and tone of voice.


Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

    Rainy day here too. Laughing about the china. I'm not that brave. THe biggest mistake I ever made was buying a white couch. I'm currently saving to replace with black leather. My kids are so hard on them.

    I can not believe the thunderstorms here in Roseburg!! All night and 1/2 of today. Simon is getting so big and quite the cutie pie! Did you guys have fun at the Wiggles? My daughter Zoe and I were 3 rows behind you guys and he looked like he was having a blast! Going to go to the Lion King? I really want to go. And yes you are being to hard on yourself. Being a mom is the hardest job in the world after all. Arent we allowed a few mistakes.

    Is Simon a tea-drinker too, then? If I make myself a cup of tea, or pour myself a glass of iced tea, David is right there wanting one for himself. I'm not quite as brave as you to let him drink from my good tea cups though...especially after the little *darling* broke my new medicine cabinet and a picture frame holding a picture of him, Aidan and Rob that I had hanging on the wall this week. Such is life, I suppose. :)
    Glad you're enjoying the bit of rain we got today too. It felt so refreshing and wonderful after the last couple of hot days we've had around here (although we did get out the wading pool and sprinklers Thursday and played in the EWEB fountain yesterday). The thunder and lightning this afternoon were amazing--had to turn off the lights so we could get a better look at the sky lighting up. :)
    Have a happy Memorial Day Weekend!

    Simon is precious and how awesome to see him drinking tea out of the antique china! I remember my grandmother letting me drink tea with her out of her beloved Luray china. I will always remember how she made me feel so special!
    Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

    Hi Ali,
    My 3 year old son, Cameron, saw Simon's picture on my computer screen and said, "There's my best friend!" He now keeps asking me to see his best friend on the computer, and he wants to know when he's coming over to our house. So if you're ever in Katy, Texas . . . .
    :-)

    Hi Ali! You boy has the most beautiful eyes! What a charmer! I wanted to give you some hope... I was diagnosed with a mild form of Autism years ago... and its given me some problems. I am not very good talking in person with people, I don't make friends very quickly (basically because my social skills in person are lacking, I tend to be a wall flower) but on a computer, I'm freed. I am very intelligent and very expressive. It only took structure (no I'm not feeding on your last post but it did help), patience and years. Lots of years. I live a normal life, go to school, I'm married and have a great hubby who tolerates my need for all my spices to be in a row... (go figure). Simon will have a normal life because he is SO loved! You are doing great mom! You can see it in HIS face! And you know what? I can't eat a popsicle without getting it on me so he is one up on me! LOLOL
