The invitation...

When you're attempting to have a quiet, relaxing bubble bath and hear rustling outside the door, only to find this note slipped under the door. I recognized his fine art immediately. An invitation from Jimmy for one more jump on the trampoline with mommy. I'm the one on the right. Pray for me. I may have been mouthing off about my front flips.

And then he turned 6...

Our little guy turns six-years old today...the one who insists I whisper in his ear every night that he's my favourite of all favourites. And I love doing that. My friend wrote this poem for him the week he was born, and I think it sums him up perfectly.

James Malcolm Sebastian MacLeod, Chosen by God, Ruler of Men, Revered One

You will follow first child of thunder,

second child of charm,

holding your parent's hands and hearts the longest.

Making your way, watching as the olders navigate

growing up and growing out.

Your adventures coloured by the younger's perspective,

family lore and story.

Birth order dictates you'll be wily and crafty,

a showman, a cuddler, sometimes the brat,

and well-loved for it.

We love you, Jimmy...more than words. xo

Fairy Garden...

Bringing your Mom out the door to show her how beautiful you made her front yard...only to see one of your children decided to take a piss right beside the fairy garden. #TheyCannotBeSaved
