A Good Morning

My dear friend Alana had us over yesterday morning, and it was exactly what we needed. A relaxing drive with coffee in hand, fresh mountain air, a walk through a horse barn, conversations with bunnies, Superman cartwheels off a rock, cherry tomatoes, homemade pizza muffins, barefoot Claire, and lots of doll drama.

In fact, the three older chicks {Gilly, Nat and Bleu} spent most of the afternoon in negotiations over dolls. They all wanted who they wanted {to dress, swaddle, feed, cuddle}. It was good to see them work it out as friends--with a few mini meltdowns thrown in for good measure. One per girl.

Buby pretty much stayed out of it. Alana and I figured it was for lack of interest... being a boy and all. But at bedtime Buby says to me, "Mama... I wanted to play babies, too, but there wasn't enough babies for me to have one." He never even asked.


That's so Buby.

P.S. Thank you Alana and Buby for the flowers. They are beautiful!!
