I just wanted to thank those of you who commented, sent me emails, and commiserated with me about losing patience–both with our children and with ourselves. Your words of encouragement cheered me tremendously. I’m happy to report I am feeling better, buoyed from your words and from spending the weekend in a bit of a reverie. I retrieved every picture I have of Nicholas and the Mister that I didn’t lose in the crash so that I can string them up on a line with clothespins for the “4 and 40” birthday(s) party on Saturday. Thankfully, I only lost 2010’s photos, and some of that year I have on the blog and on sites like Flickr.
I ask you, how can you be in a crabby mood looking at pictures like this?
You can’t. Life is too damn short.
Happy to read that you are feeling better. The pictures are beautiful.
Oh.My! That last photo is absolutely P.R.I.C.E.L.E.S.S!!
Well said Jules!
I love looking through old photos … and that last one just hints of things to come, doesn’t it?
They are beautiful.
aw, i LOVE that last photo…so glad you’re feeling better!
Okay, I may or may not have bookmarked this post in order to open and check it out constantly to make me happier during the day.
Ooooh, your photos are lovely. So glad your mood has turned around. Have a wonderful, wonderful party!
Oh the last photo he looks exactly like he does now, so darn cute! I am glad you are feeling better:)
That last picture is just too cute and I agree with Miss B. He looks the same. He was destined to be a cutie.
Those are so crazy sweet. Glad you’re feeling a bit better.
they are all lovely, but, oh, that last one!
(new here…hi!)
So happy you’re feeling better. I hope the birthday parties go well.
