Special Things...




Bodhi wanted to wear my wedding rings but I explained that I can't take them off, they mean I'm married to his dad and that we love each other. He was sad and he explained to his dad that he really wanted to wear my rings. So, Jer took him upstairs and they got out one of Jer's necklaces and put a ring on it and it was to be Bodhi's special ring that means his daddy loves him. He has been excited about this for days. He told me that his necklace was "more important than the world". He keeps thanking his dad for giving him something so special, he was even worried about taking a bath with it "could it get wet?". He was worried about taking off his shirt and hurting it. When I picked him up from school and asked how his day was he answered "good, and I was careful not to break my necklace when I played". He doesn't even realize that the ring is Jer's dad's wedding ring to Jer's mom, he just knows it is special and from his dad. He even shows it to total strangers and talks about how it gives him power. Wow, kiddos. They are so great.

Maia's first flight


This is the family on our way to Chicago! A woman asked if we had taken a picture yet when we said it was Maia's first flight. Sheepishly, we said no so she helped us out. More to come later....
