You are wonder woman to me--you manage to take all these pictures, write blog posts, tend to a garden, and still fill your boys' lives with wonder and adventure. You're doing great! I often find it hard to focus on the things I do get done and always think about those things on my to do list that never seem to get crossed off. These days, if I get a shower I think I'm doing good among all the feedings and diaper changes:) Can't wait to see how that peach turns out:)Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04482703385103047136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-78234402379291654562015-09-23T19:48:02.708+01:002015-09-23T19:48:02.708+01:00Just this morning I rushed out to take some simila...Just this morning I rushed out to take some similar pictures.

Most of all I too love getting a glimpse of the world through the littlest boy's eyes. His happy take on life is such a good reminder, that it is there. At the very least in him! This makes me very happy ... you see? It's infectious in the best way. Wishing you both a very successful project, but honestly it already sounds like a huge success to me.elnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654199835246576704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-13317849011798699492015-09-23T15:35:07.394+01:002015-09-23T15:35:07.394+01:00L once had a Roald Dahl party and we made a James ...L once had a Roald Dahl party and we made a James and the Giant Peach cake.
