My dishes went unwashed today,
I didn’t make the bed,
I took his hand and followed
Where his eager footsteps led.
Oh yes, we went adventuring,
My little son and I,
Exploring all the great outdoors
Beneath the summer sky.
We waded in a crystal stream,
We wandered through a wood.
My kitchen wasn’t swept today,
But life was sweet and good.
We found a cool sun-dappled glade
And now my small son knows
How Mother Bunny hides her nest
Where fern and larkspur grow.
We watched a robin feed her young,
We climbed a sunlit hill,
Saw cloud-sheep scamper through the sky;
We plucked a daffodil.
That my house was neglected,
That I didn’t sweep the stair,
In twenty years no one on earth
Will know or even care.
But that I’ve helped a little boy
To noble manhood grow,
In twenty years the whole wide world
May look and see and know.

Finally I am getting some new pics up. Things are just so busy around here. Just the daily happenings with four kids keeps us busy. Lorelei is doing great. She is such a cutie. We are all having so much fun with her. Hopefully she will start walking soon. She loves to crawl around the house and get into everything. Asher and I took a tour of the preschool that he will be attending in fall, hopefully sooner as he is more than ready now. Baylee and Riley are busy with school and having fun with their friends. More pics to come soon. I need to get my camera out more and capture some of these moments.
