Things I hope I never forget.

My Baby, originally uploaded by Michelle.Dan.

In 10 years Aiden will be Nicole's age now.

Will we remember?

I hope we are able to call on these memories just by saying,

Remember when Aiden was 4?

I hope so, because it's days like today that make my life so freaking fun.

Aiden and I went to the mall, he trailed behind SO SLOW.... I finally asked him WHY... Why the slowness?
That face looked at me in total seriousness and told me that , "he did not want to step on a crack, and break my back"...

The other day he came with us to Nicole's cast removal appt. At some point she flinched when the Dr. examined her hand.

Aiden came alive.

He had been watching an episode of Scooby Doo on Nicole's I-pod, When he saw Nicole wince, he ripped out his earphones and charged the Dr. yelling "don't you hurt my sister".. His eyes filled with tears, and his bottom lip came out , but he kept yelling in his best man voice to NOT HURT HIS SISTER..

Coley and I thought his reaction was so sweet, we teared up.

He is such a good boy.

A Cure for the Grouchy.

The Grouchy..

Yesterday I did not want to be in my own skin.

I was THISCLOSE to losing my temper, for no reason.

The whole day rage boiled just underneath my skin.

The Not So Grouchy

It was 95 degrees out for the first time since maybe August and it felt so NICE.

Nicole's cast was removed. Hand was very stinky and bone not healed all the way.. But it's off!

Emily and Aiden spent over an hour using the slip and slide.

All that running, laughing and slipping was the cure for the Cranky..

What? Who are you looking at?

Dear Internet,

I am a freaking grouch today. I can not help it.

I know I'm doing it and yet the RAGE remains.

Please let me find my zen and be able to have a happy afternoon.

Thanks,

Michelle

Spring has Sprung..

We are here.

The THAW has begun.

We have real live spring flowers and

the trees are getting fuzzy at the edges.

It's time for us to come out of hibernation.
