These monthly posts really highlight how fast time is flying these days. Seems not-worth-stating since the speed of time is a given; all of us scratching our heads in disbelief. Where did summer even go? Last summer we bbq’d at our favorite spot on what-seemed-like a weekly basis. This summer? We made it out twice….
A portrait of my family once a month in 2016
Willy: Requested a ‘nice shower cap’ for Christmas. Right now he looks like a lunch lady in the shower.
Hooper: Gave himself a wedgie and then said, “Look mom, I got girl underwear”.
Van: Saw a man in a motorized wheelchair in the store and said, loud enough for him and others to hear, “I’m not going to make fun of him because he’s old”.
Sonny: I’m considering holding onto the wax that comes out of his ear and surprising him on his sweet sixteen with a nice candle. Because, ya know, hashtag: organic. Hashtag: homegrown.
Me: “I used to only get annoyed when they’d fight. Now I’m annoyed even when they get along”. Said after several hours in the car all together when the boys were playing a really fun game that involved a lot of high pitch screaming.
Jimmie: Got caught drinking out of a big ol’ bowl where yellow was mellowing causing one to wonder just how often that happens, but goes unnoticed.
Growth & Appearance: Your hair is still getting lighter and your eyes, darker. You’re following the same track as your brothers. You’ll be fitted for a helmet sometime this month to correct the flat spot on the side of your head that resulted from those early days of preferring to sleep with your head only…
Hard to believe just how fast time flies until you realize that seven years have already passed since the day you married that snoring man who sleeps next to you.
Hey Willy, I love you more than a bear loves honey.
We’ve added so much over the last few months and have so much more coming (including a new site that’s been in the works for ages) that it’s hard to keep up or keep track. In any event, we’ve added more than what is shown here and if you’d like to take a look, hop on over to The Bee & The Fox. Happy to offer a coupon code for those of you that would like to make a purchase: Use code STORK20 for 20% off your purchase of $50 or more. Code is good for today and tomorrow only.
Other new additions:
…and a whole slew of vintage and home goods…
Many thanks to my girl Nichol for always standing so pretty in-front of my lens.
