Do you ever get those glimpses in life where you think, 'Woah-Wa!, am I really married with a baby' or 'am I really self-subsistent, self-dependent, and in charge of big things...can I really make every day small decisions for myself that sum up my existence?!' I get that fleeting feeling occassionally, such as in this moment, and quickly shake my head and get on my way. It's a similar feeling of that when your brain thinks about the eternity of time, better left untouched. So here's some pictures of my unbelievable life!~
We met Micah at school with a picnic to feed the ducks. I think Eden would have rathered to fed her whole lunch to the ducks than eat it herself.
We had Eden in these shorts and blue shirt and all day she was called a boy (a common occurence her whole life, it's not a big deal any more). So we put this tiara on her to clarify, she suprisingly kept it on for a while!
We went to the Logan area to visit Micah's extended family, the Kowallis'. This is Lynn and Tami, it was their wedding reception that we came for. It was fun for me to get more glimpses into life as a Brown. We spent the night at Rachel's. Eden and Elsie did okay together, no big problems or tears (except over blankets), even with a cast added to the equation. We also visited Logan's community zoo. It was mostly full of birds, which happens to be Eden's favorite. In the picture she is signing bird and trying to say it, she went crazy! And on a last side note, Pelicans are GINORMOUS!

Sounds like a fun week! And by the way, all of your pictures look amazing!
poor girl. have you ever thought of buying her a wig? just kidding! :) her hair will grow soon enough. miss you guys.
I love that last picture where she's signing bird. She looks so intent on signing and saying it. So cute! Love the tiara too. She is so obviously a pretty girl. (I still like to wear the tiara from my wedding. It helps me to feel like a princess when I clean the house.)
Becky! It was so good to chat with you! What a beautiful family you have! I wish we could hang out and go to the park together. Eden probably doesn't even remember me even though we totally bonded those three days I stayed with you guys. Such a cute GIRL! Miss ya!
Becky, I have been sorely tempted to blog about this same thing recently. It does feel so WEIRD sometimes to look around and wonder how you've gotten here, and are those really MY kids?, and am I really THE Mom?, and WHAT IN THE WORLD AM I DOING, I DON'T KNOW A THING?! You're exactly right. You've just got to shake your head and keep on keeping on, because I guess we're making it, right?
It still feels weird sometimes when I look and Zach and think "that's my kid!". I thought only grown ups had kids...I''m glad you had a fun week with picnics and family.
I totally know the feeling!! :) Eden is just a doll.
Another weird feeling is knowing that you are a grandma but not remembering when you got that old?? Inside we remain about 25-30, but the mirror tells another tale! Savor every minute as they will soon all be memories!
What a lovely family are you three!!
