Workout partners.

You wake up grumpy, it's hysterical.

155|365

Morning light. I will miss these windows.

156|365

Always on your bike. Always finding

things to jump off of.

157|365

158|365

The glory days of potty training.

159|365

My crew.

160|365

"Look at me, mom."

161|365

"I guess he really likes me. Want him on your face?"

162|365

Fathers day. This is real life.

I had to run to get my camera, and my exposure is so off it's proof 

of the spontinatity. He's always fun, forgiving, and patient. 

You are both so lucky you get to claim him as yours.

163|365

Time out.

164|365

Summer in Sheboygan.

165|365

Tia love.

166|365

Water break... then back to jumping.

167|365

My first miss. 

168|365

I look terrible, but you are so cute, and I want to be able to look back

on the quiet moments. Just getting to hold you. Time is going too fast.

169|365

We found an egg that had fallen out of it's nest.

170|365

My head has been busy and I almost forgot. I remembered just as I was getting ready

to go up to our room. I opened your door and crawled onto your bed. You didn't move

a muscle. You looked so grown up. I'm so glad that I 

remembered, I never see you sleeping anymore.

 128|365

We finally made a trip to Alfred. You guys are so happy up on the 

hill, I love it! And of course, there are few things better than a ride on a 

John Deere with Grandpa.

 129|365

No trip is complete with out a very contagious illness.

Everyday since this you grab my face and tell me I have "pink eyes."

 130|365

Today you are FIVE! I'm having a hard time believing this is true.

All of our old and true friends were nice enough to make you feel special, even if 

you didn't remember them. You had a great day, and so did we.

 131|365

NYC  at night.

 132|365

We are childless for three nights in NYC. I can quietly take in the view.

(And dinner, and drinks, and sleep...)

 133|365

The event. Your dad cleans up nice.

 134|365

"Will you never go to India? Please? They have bees that are giant."

You were so serious and so nervous. I keep trying to find ways to ease your growing list

of worries. It breaks my heart.

 135|365

How many kids get to drive a contraption like this? Goat powered cart

rides on the MacCrea farm. A lovely morning with the 

lovely Ani.

 136|365

Grandma remembers how to make playdoh snakes, your favorite.

 137|365

I love looking out the window and catching a moment like this.

That's MY family!

 138|365

You got this skateboard for your birthday from Tia Bee. You look so cool.

I think you're a natural.

 139|365

Meeting of the neighborhood minds...

 140|365

Curious George = snack time.

 141|365

How can something be such a great idea and terrible idea at the same time?

 142|365

Pure joy in underpants... you peed in them 5 minutes later.

 143|365

The otter tunnel.

Sam was at Wolf Camp so we took you to the zoo.

 144|365

Just a little lunch with Dad while he works.

You love to keep him company and hand off the tools.

 145|365

Big day on 9th St.

 146|365

Summer days... you constantly whining at the door to come in or go out.

 147|365

First official sleepover success. You planed this campout complete

with s'mores, paper stars and tent. It's like you were perusing

pinterest, but you came up with it all on your own. You are always wanting

to please others and make them feel special.

 148|365

First night in your big girl bed! You slept like a champ. I was 

totally startled when you came to my bed at 6am.

 149|365

Bike rides.

 150|365

You only accidentally stepped into the box (and smashed half our pickings) once.

For the amount of not picking that was going on, I'de say

thats a win.

 151|365

One word comes to mind 95% of the time I look at you.

Pigpen.

152|365

God, I love these summer days Indiana has to offer.
