Welcome to Anybody Home!

Here you will find scattered pictures from my point and shoot camera, random thoughts from my little world, treasured memories of days gone by, hopeful dreams of the days yet to come, and a bunch of ideas - because I've always got ideas!

On Wednesday...

Pake watched the kids play on the driveway and sidewalk.
Feintjse LOVED having Jonge push him on the scooter.
It made me nervous.  VERY nervous.  But Jonge was careful.
Everyone was happy and nobody fell.
That is, of course, until I called them over for a snack and Feintsje fell head first out of the stroller and onto the driveway.  It all happened so fast.  He didn't even cry much, or even act like it hurt.  But it sure does look awful.  And I feel awful, even if he does not.  Oh, and that is red juice on his chin and the neck of his shirt.  Not blood.  Poor boy.  Did I mention that I feel awful about this?  Because I do.

Yes, there will be days like that!
What a fun day otherwise. Too bad about Feintsje falling out of the stroller. '
You are amazing and do a fabulous job. As many hours as the children spend with you, the accident/injury ratio is really low, thankfully. I know that you feel badly, you're precious like that. That's part of how come you're such a great Bepe. :)

It's always when you think they are safe!

I remember my Mom putting my 3 year old self up on the 3
foot block wall across our quiet street to feed the
horses. (their field was 3
feet higher then our street) She knew I would
not get bitten as I knew how to safely feed them and
I would be amused for a long period of time. She didn't
count on the California red ants . . . and I couldn't get away!

I understand feeling awful...life has its time of scrapes

I remember doing the same with my now 13 year old, his brothers used to fight over pushing him in the stroller and one day they toppled him over and he hit his head on the black top. While I was watching too but just wasn't close enough to do anything, don't feel too bad, it happens! His boo boo doesn't make him any less cute though!
