Dear Henny and Hazel Nut,
We've not spent a lot of time at the Farmer's Market this year. The summer was SO HOT it was hard to be outside for any length of time without being in water or having it in a constant spray over us. We just didn't have the motivation to get up on a Saturday and go out into it. Today we went and were pleasantly surprised by apple tasting tables from local farmers. YES! Bundled up, we enjoyed the crisp of the air and that of the sensational featured Fuji apples. Henny, you loved being able to stab those little squares with a tooth pick and we had to stop you from taking our samples out from under us.
Hazellie, you stayed snuggled up and warm up close to Daddy snoozing without fail.
We moved on to a booth that had cans with punched out constellation formations on the end. You (Hen) peered into each and provided commentary while listening intently to the woman explaining their names.
We left to have some brunch and hot chocolate at Waffle House. I felt a lot of joy and peace today; the four of us together on such a beautiful afternoon. I am a lucky Mama and Wifey.
Love, Mama
Dear Peep,
You've gotten several round ups with your good buddy Devo. It is cool that at least now you try to stay near each other. A couple of weeks ago we went to a little school fair at Harmony. Devo's Daddy, Mike, was playing with his band and there were games, food and fun to be had. You and Devo were excited to see each other. You sat close to each other to eat your snow cones, all your own doing.
The next week we met up at the Saturday Farmer's Market. You were both already into raising a grumpus that day but found some happiness weaving in and out of the large chair sculpture, playing hide and seek. After you all started tramplin' your size 6.5s into the plants and swingin' your mits out to a hot grill both mama's and papa's decided to head on home. You little dudes are giving us the run around already. Oh teen years please be gentle and kind!
Love, Mama
Dear Henny and Hazel Nut,
