Madeline and Cailey - a friend from her other (red!) soccer team - playing against each other in their first high school games. Wearing the same #21, too.
I gave Nolan another haircut. We did the top / front sitting on the back deck Tuesday, and wasn't able to do the back until Saturday... You have to find the right balance of cooperation and quiet! Then when he showed Dad, Dad thought it would be a good idea to style it up all spiky. Pretty cute!
A downside to writing more letters is that I was getting a little too excited for the mail to come each day, thinking that writing more meant getting more... silly me. But then I got TWO! Kadence and Zach picked out cards and wrote in them and took them to the post office to send to Auntie - I smiled all day long. They're sitting on my desk making me happy even now.
I found a great surprise when I was purging our bookshelf last week. Back in 2007, I got bookmarks from my nephews with their school photos on them. I had one in my bookmark box that I keep on the shelf, but had no idea where the other two had disappeared to, and that had made me sad a few times over the years. I found them - in some of the books that I had been working through and forgotten, I guess - and that made me pretty happy, too.
Did you know there are three verses to Row, Row Row Your Boat? We have a book of nursery rhymes that we've been pulling out at bedtime, and Row, Row Row Your Boat has been a favorite that I have sung hundreds of times lately, before putting him down for a nap or bed. I'll leave you with this now and hope it gets stuck in your head. You're welcome.
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently on the tide.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
To the other side.
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently back to shore.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Home for tea at four!
