Lost of Rhythm

So I've been a bit hooked on this blog thing, mainly just searching, reading, snooping.  It's only natural when you start something new.  I have let our days be filled with less planned activities, on a whim and I need to get back to us.  By no means do we follow a rigid schedule just a nice rhythm.   I gain momentum, I lose momentum... I need to remember that time does not come back so I must cherish it.  

Bath Time: Toto and Baby

It feels like they had never taken a bath, but Dorothy insisted Toto was dirty and needed to get clean.  So out went Toto and baby (M's baby doll was also dirty) to bath in a cake pan.  Of course we used No Tear Shampoo to wash them, just in case the two wanted to touch their eyes.  It was a fun time under the porch washing, scrubbing and getting wet.  Dorothy was a pro washing Toto all over while M needed a little help to get started.  I don't think baby came out as clean as Toto. (Idea came from here)

Under The Clouds @ The Park

We bought watermelon, avocados and warm tortillas for our afternoon at music at the park series but as we drove up, I realized I had the wrong park. That didn't stop us as Dad still set up our chairs and picnic gear. M wrestled with Dad for the longest time, he loves pretending his tougher than Dad whille Dorothy loved hiding a red rock pretending she didn't know where she left it and having us search for it. It was a great time even though the music wasn't playing.

Stones In A Puddle

It's been raining for the past two days, we even missed a good friends b-day because of it. So to make up for it we would head outside every so often the rain stopped and Dorothy and M would throw rocks into a puddle of water that gathers behind Abuela's house. They had so much fun looking for stones to throw and watch the water splash. It so nice to watch how simple things bring so much joy. I actually don't mind letting them get too wet, its always nice to feel the rain drops land on your face.

Umbrella Trio

So we went out into the sprinkles because it looked like it was going to rain hard but it was only a few rain drops, so we got our umbrellas ready (patuts finally bought one for M) and out we went. I didn't have a camera but it was such a cute moment, marching in the backyard along the sidewalk. M so proud that he finally had one to call his own, he grabbed it tight and close to his head to not get wet and Dorothy well you were already a pro.

The start

So I'm finally warming up to blog, to journal the adventures of Dorothy and M. I just hope I can turn this into a book someday, I already have a journal I write in where I've written things they are up to, life lessons to learn that my husband and I think of, bits and pieces of advice, memories and stories, values to learn and practice, etc.. a little of this and that to make our life authentic and closer to Dios.
