hopeful monday

Hope Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune--without the words, And never stops at all...Dickinson... Feeling Hopeful today.... For a week full of possibilities after a much needed restful weekend that refreshed all of us....

i love how they play together; their language of smiles and laughs and hugs, even the frustrating moments of sibling fights. i love it all.

morning hair.

i love how little brother watches and does everything big brother does

(In home OT today) doing music therapy and bean bag throws (i'm glad we'll also be back to our OT with Miss A this week in MH after having to cancel last week due to sickness) I could not resist snapping a picture of the headphone/backpack get up. Sweet Caleb I love you.

 

this week I feel hopeful for valentine's day letters and water paintings that i'll be sealing up in red sticker-ed envelopes made with love from the hands of two little boys. I'm feeling excited for a care package send off with the help of little boys (mid way through our special outing lucas lost a shoe and almost lost himself in the clothing rack at target; then bit me cause he was mad..(a first by the way, we're learning to use our words/he may also be teething; but his mad screams at being picked up for running away makes me think it's probably just more of a word thing, which we're working on; hello toddlerhood) i was that disheveled mother at target this am. Stroller, wandering toddler, and well, caleb was the only one on board helping me with the special goods! it was quite an adventure.

moving on; it's Ash Wednesday this week and with that comes the reminder that we are preparing our hearts and filling them up with Hope in Christ this Easter season. Spring is around the corner too. Lots of things to Hope for and wait patiently for; in the meantime I'm glad I have some very cute distractions to tend to each day.

 

Psalm 37:7

Rest in the Lord and wait Patiently for Him.
