My photoblog is a blogger blog and I’m having a bunch of trouble with my blogger blogs posting via .ftp to my website. In an effort to fix this problem, my photoblog links may not work for a bit.

Magnuson Park Seattle

Earlier in the week, Kevin had to check on a project in Seattle, so I rode along. It was in the neighborhood of Magnuson park in Seattle. The park is on the waterfront. The trails through the park are pretty flat and wide open, it’s not at all like Lincoln Park in West Seattle, where the trails wind through the forest.

T-man’s ultimate frisbee team played several games on the fields in Magnuson park. The backdrop is beautiful with the water and the mountains… it is one of my favorite parks for ultimate… and walking.

Mother’s Day

How things change around my house year to year is always amazing to me. This year we have two boys living at home and the house is so quiet all the time. Way too quiet, if you were to ask me.

Yesterday was Aaron’s 27th birthday. WOW! I have a 27 year old child. Where did the time go. It seems like it was just last week I was in labor… on Mother’s day.

Several older sisters in our church always told me to slow down and take time to enjoy the kids. Take in every moment, because in no time at all, they wouldn’t be little anymore. In the moment, when the kids are little, and the house is chaotic with a huge to-do list, cooking, cleaning,  dishes, making beds, the never ending laundry pile, and all the effort it takes just to keep up with little children… it’s hard to think about the future, and how fast time will go by. 

Well, this morning I woke up to a text message on my cell phone (bright and early, as the kids forget the time difference). “Happy Mother’s Day mom! I love you!!” Sweet Brandon… then the phone rang, Chris was calling to wish me a wonderful day. Super sweet, but it made me realize just how quickly the kids have grown and how far from home they are.

I’m glad I had my Aunts and the older sisters in the church to advise me about slowing down… in a sense, they were saying stop and smell the roses. I tried to take their advise,  but it’s hard to slow down. After all, that laundry pile turns into a mountain of laundry if we slow down too much.

Well, I’m off, I have teenagers at home, a 27th birthday to celebrate… and a grand baby to love on. I’m a mom… (and a grandma) with so much to be thankful for.
