Dirt and a Little Boy

One little boy's dream--dirt.  Lots of it.

The construction site of Luke's parents' lake house is toddler boy heaven.  Dean is voting to forgo the landscape plans.

Cycles of naptime, waketime, snacks, meals, and bedtime--punctuated by lions, tigers, and bears, lots of scraped knees, scaling the Everest of counter-tops and Kilimanjaro of stools.  So much of life is defined by small everyday routines.  I really love all of this--even when it feels like all I've done in a day is feed, change diapers, chase down a toddler, calm a baby, put shoes on, take shoes off.  It's amazing the amount of satisfaction and bliss it brings.
