for the morning light,
for little moments like these,
for our bedroom closet being taken over by tiny hand-me-down baby dresses,
for tinkertoy rock bands,
for our homeschooling days and how very well they are going,
for the abundance of good food we have to eat,
for this smile,
for a few moments of peace while a baby napped and little boys were at lessons to knit in front of the fire and breathe deep.
It is good.









Love the homemade 'instruments' my children did the same a few weeks ago :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a great game! They are playing along with a friend's CD here. I love attending this concert!
DeleteThis is one of my favorite posts!
ReplyDeleteI love love love the tinker toys band- the look on Ari's face is priceless. I've been thinking about tinker toys, I think you've convinced me!
You must be having so much fun putting little dresses on your sweet girl!
I am curious about that beautiful yarn, wondering just what it is?

Thanks Mel! Yes, the tinker toys get a lot of use. I had to buy mine off ebay to find the older wooden ones rather than the plastic version. The yarn is madelinetosh "ginger." I've never knit with such luxurious yarn before! So lovely.
DeleteDear Taisa...When my big boy was younger, he also played a tinkertoy guitar on a tinkertoy microphone. He wore a brown wooly beard and called himself Bob Dylan ~ he even crooned in an off-key, kind of Bob way. Seeing this pics reminds me of that time and I wish I could get it back!!! And of course, baby love and all, too. She is simply adorable, and so much like her brothers. I'm glad your homeschool year is going well, I'd love to chat for real some day soon :)

I love that Forrest played the exact same game! Although my boys are pretending to be a some musician friends of ours. And yes, let's have a real chat- that would be wonderful!
DeleteThe Tinker toy band is just so cute!! And that smile... Wow!

DeleteSo much goodness and sweetness shared here! And that beautiful little Willa Rose! (I know someone who considered naming their daughter Willa.) Our baby girl gets way, way, way too many kisses too! It has been so long (too long!) since I visited you here, glad to see family is happy and thriving and well. Happy autumn days to you!
