Surrender - Day 1 & 2

Anne Morrow Lindbergh said "If you surrender completely to the moments as they pass, you live more richly in those moments."  

Snappy and Papa surrendered the last few days.  Wednesday:  Papa flies home from Albuquerque.  Snappy works late, makes a cake, picks up a ham and some mums. Thursday:  Off to Eugene at 8 am for Daddy Gene's sister's funeral.  Nice to see his brothers and sister  - we definitely felt his presence there.    Drive back home by supper time.  

Friday: Papa off to work, Snappy preparing for a nice long day of checking things off the list when EMILY CALLED at 7:45 am.  No big worries except low blood sugar that led to a woozy mom with a 17 month running around.  Who cares about that to-do list? Snappy to the rescue - C and I played and once Em had some food she felt immensely better but I couldn't leave then, could I?  Connor is getting harder and harder to photograph.  He just wants to play and for you to get out from behind that camera.   I did get this shot of his latest black eye.

And then guess who showed up?  Snappy had promised a few hours of time to let Elizabeth get some work hours in so H & G with ELIZABETH in tow, just decided to come where the rest of us were.

Connor took a nap and Emily felt good enough to make us all cookies with three kinds of chocolate chips, oatmeal and dried cranberries - yumm.

Connor woke up from his nap and wondered who took over Snappy's lap!

Just SURRENDER to it Connor, you will "live more richly", I promise.
