Here they are again, coming to get me!
this weekend
i love the sight of: sunshine + icicles, Bleu gazing up at her daddy with those big espresso bean eyes {she grows more sweet on him each day}, coming back to the car to find both my guys rocking out to AC/DC {Buby asked, "Daddy, can you put on the screaming guy? I like that."}, Bleu waving to me from across the kitchen, yellow + red together, Buby starting to read on his own... it is the most incredible thing. Spelling out, sounding out, and reading a word.
i love the sound of: a quiet house after midnight, the big one cheering on the little one and leaning in to "kiss-kiss" her cheek, Buby practicing his 3 songs for Friday's school recital, a babbling Bleu, Dan Zanes, competitive games being played at the table while dinner is cooking.
i love the scent of: sauteed onion, green peppers, linens out of the dryer, fresh bread from the bakery, the house after Aga came, cool air when I first open the door in the morning.
i love the taste of: breakfast for dinner, My Sweets' homemade guacamole {yes--after 12 years living together I finally tried something with avocado... and loved it}, chocolate in everything, whipped cream on everything, El Charo picante sauce from Tucson ~ without the chocolate and whipped cream. Hehe.
i love the feel of: a healthy house {no sickies this week}, a clean house, tucking a love note into Buby's box and then hearing him gasp as he discovers it during a routine check, putting Bleu down for her afternoon nap and spending one-on-one time with Buby, putting Buby to bed at night and spending one-on-one time with Bleu, watching my lil' crafter perfect his scissor skills, switching over to all organic, knowing we chose the right preschool for Buby, watching The Bachelor on Mondays... things are really heating up.

AC/DC...that's funny! Bleu is carefully taking her time as she wraps her daddy around her sweet little fingers...she knows exactly what she's doing! Buby is reading...WHOAH! That's incredible! I'm so proud of him. Maybe he'll teach G how to do it next year in school! I love the bakery in your village...is that where the fresh bread is from? Guacamole...oh, Jenny, how have you lived without it for all these years? Oh my. You're hooked now, right? What do you mean switching over to all organic? Food? Clothing? Do tell. We're doing our best with food, but I'm having trouble finding chicken lately. Where do you go? Ditto on the preschool decision. I mean, obviously we haven't experienced it like you guys, but I know in my heart that it's the right place for her. I'm excited for Sept. Great list.
Love all these!!! Who do you think the Bachelor is going to pick??? I was shocked that he let Stephanie go last night. Baby Blue and I thought he was going to keep her...I'm thinking Molly might be the one...but I could be wrong!
Maria... Molly is the one. I'm betting on it. Mel and Jason haven't gotten super close yet, and though he thinks she's a major cutie, I don't think he thinks it's a realistic fit. I wasn't surprised at all about Stephanie. I think he only held onto her this long b/c she was a "crowd pleaser." Made him look like a better person to keep her, b/c she was so genuine and sweet. I never saw a romantic connection between them.
bliss .. love you forever
I love your list of favorite things. Can't believe Buby is starting to read. We're excited to see you all next weekend - the kids are growing so fast and we're missing so much. As for the Bachelor, I hope he picks Melissa -she seems very sweet but I too think it might be Molly. My favorite smell is a fresh apple pie right out of the oven. Love you all!
