Looking for nice bugs that don't bite

 We had so much fun looking for critters and exploring our yard, a simple Saturday.

being lazy and feeing guilty

So last night we went to a cook out to spend some time with friends. We were out late. Emma feel asleep about 11:00 and we got home about 2:00. I didn't get to bed until close to 3:00 and was up at 8:00. I'm ashamed to say Emma watched about 5 hours of television today. I was just feeling so lazy, the laundry didn't get done, the dishs didn't get washed and my kid was a zombie. I'm definately not 18 anymore and require more sleep to function. I'm hoping she won't really remember the times I just didn't feel like playing and will remember the days like we will have tomorrow. Splashing in her pool, bug hunting and a happy meal day are on the horizon.

My mom, Emma and I spent the day at Talbot. It was absolutely beautiful! We had a great time colllecting shells, dancing in the ocean, lettng the wind and sun kiss our skin and watching the beautiful sky.

in a perfect world...

i feel for friends that are going through turmoil with there children and their children's mothers. i wish things were easier and that you were allowed to be the father you are. i wish you were able to show and tell your kids how much you loved them. it takes a village to raise a child and it's so sad when one of the most important parts of that village are left out because of trivial nonsense.... i hope you are able to be the father of your dreams and that your children come home to your heart...
