{pretty, happy, funny, real}
So it's been a while. But I am plugging along, and decreasing my computer use during Lent, which is good. A few things to share, though.
{pretty}
I have a glass bottle on the window sill obsession, and an early spring. My kitchen window sill is a colorful haven in the chaos that is often my kitchen.
Also Melanie turned 3 this week, and here is her cake. I happened to have 3 heart shaped cake pans so this was easy
{happy}
I found a terrific new family doctor after Theo was born. He has decorated his office in the painting of Gustav Klimt. I particularly was drawn to the "Tree of Life" and have since purchased it and it hangs over my bed. Life is so beautiful!
{funny}
Some of the younger children were having such fun last night. While my nearly 8 year old played (quite well, by the way) the harmonica, the other 3 were jumping, dancing and skipping around. Ordinary, precious moments!
And another ordinary, precious moment: Melanie cleaning out the bowl of cake batter on her birthday
{real}
Theo is 7 months now, and today for the first time began pulling books off the shelf and examining them very closely. The look of pride on his face was precious, and I know it is just the beginning of his delight in encountering the world, and of my books being rearranged.

Cute image of your little one with the books!! I like the Klimt, and the cake. And I *love* colored glass!
I love the colored glass on the window sill. Simple beauty.
Of course I wanted a close up of the books so I could read the titles! I am so curious what other people read.
You made me want a windowsill in my kitchen for glass bottles.
Hi Hope! Those books were my Dean Koonz "Odd Thomas" series. So good to hear from you!
Great post! I love that Klimt print! And all your thoughts.
One of my favorite families! :o)
It's been so long since I've blogged or checked out any blogs...I didn't know you had another child! I am pregnant with our 8th. That little guy of yours is adorable. Your whole family is beautiful. God bless you all!
