I had to show these pictures I took at the playground yesterday. It was the kind of day my ma would call "bluebird", and which I would call "abso-freakin-lutely fan-f#&@ing-tastic". The sky, the sky, oh my god. That's probably why the pictures feature the sky so prominently. And I have discovered that if I want decent pictures of the boy, I can't say, "Hey, Gavin! Smile!" This usually resorts in a look of glum impatience. It's much better to give him something to do, take a gazillion pictures, and hope for the best. So here's the best.
And don't think I forgot the girl. Although her favorite thing is to be held while I am pushing the boy on the swing, which resorts in much giggling, she also enjoys the swing herself.
Oh, and did you know she has two teeth?
Yeah I can't believe it either. She's sitting up, too. Six months old already. I swear, babyhood flies by so quickly, I almost can't believe she was ever a little swimmer in the dark, the secret passenger, that silent witness to my heartbeat. And I admit, sometimes my heart gets a little lonely in there.
My bladder's damn glad to have his room back, though.

Love the pink striped disco pants, but not as much as the starfish sweater and hat!!
I am sitting in a hotel business center in Charlotte, North Carolina, weeping my fool head off. I miss those beautiful, beautiful children more than I could possibly express. They fill my heart with joy; thank you thank you for taking these gorgeous pix of them and sharing them.
MuchLoveToAll,
Ma.
