Grateful that he had such a fun soccer season, though I think he liked the post-game Einstein's bagel more than the game itself. Love this little dude.

He loves mirrors and today I caught him kissing himself in the mirror. Such fascination I don't want to forget.

And found these gems on my camera today. Thank you Jana.

A playdate with 3 of John's school buddies. I had a car full of kids, that's for sure. I was a little nervous having them all over, but boy were they were an absolute delight.

We try to stay for Chapel on Wednesday's when we drop John off for school. It's a beautiful moment of singing, sharing and a sweet message. Today it was just what I needed.

Little Bear has been usurped by Yo Gabba Gabba as the favorite show in our house.

For some reason this makes me very, very sad.

Just arrived and he can't believe all there is to do at the festival.

Face painting!!!! He was so upset when he had to take it off at the end of the day.

Cheesy smile from the photographers kid.

John was so excited to dress up for the Fall Festival at school today. What a fun, fun day filled with games, prizes, and food. John made an excellent Woody.

And his costume turned out pretty great!

He collects them at school. Treasures, he calls them. Each day he collects a small stash of them in his backpack. He loves to sort them by color or shape and spends a little time each day creating art with them.

Mom! Mom! I got a blue santa today! I've been searching for a blue santa FOREVER.

Now I just have to keep them out of Owen's hands and mouth.

Lunch today with a dear friend who is on a remarkable journey of healing. It made my heart full to see that after years and years of pain God can bring peace to someone's aching heart.

Grateful today. Very, very grateful.

He wants to be just like his brother. He wants to play with his toys and read his books and play with his cars and be in his space.

Yet, he's so different from his brother. So different.

Owen has started a new game when he wakes up from naptime.

Stand in your crib and then drop to the bed.

Laugh really hard.

Repeat.

Fall into the crab and snuggle/wrestle Barnsy and Lovey.

Toss.

Act forlorn that your friends are gone.

How did that happen?

Smile for Mama.

So yummy, this almost one year old boy of mine. Now if I could just wake up that happy each day.
