Just hanging out

Pumpkins, Pumpkins,

                                                    Pumpkins, pumpkins in a patch
                                                              As far as I can see
                                                    Pumpkins, pumpkins in a patch
                                                    Look, that one's bigger than me!

                                                   I need a pumpkin nice and round
                                                              So I can carve a face
                                               And when I've found the perfect one
                                                     I'll bring it back to my place

                                               I'll make a nice big pumpkin smile
                                                That'll light the night with cheer
                                          My small little pumpkin from the patch
                                                        This colorful time of year

Autumn 2004:

"A Little Elf"

A little elf sat in a tree
painting leaves
to throw at me

Leaves of yellow
and leaves of red
came tumbling down
about my head.

                                       Heap high the farmer's wintry hoard!
                                              Heap high the golden corn!
                                        No richer gift has autumn poured
                                               From out her lavish horn.

                                            Let other hands exulting glean
                                                 The apple from the pine,
                                          The orange from its glossy green,
                                                 The cluster from the vine.

                                            But let the good old corn adorn
                                                The hills our fathers trod;
                                             Still let us, for his golden corn,
                                                Send up our thanks to God.

Sometimes angels come without wings

I love your face!!..!!!

He is my little baby boy

A boy so loved and comforted in life, who thinks that one day this little boy might have a wife?

When he sleeps a calm peace sweeps him away, the sight of his sweet little face makes you want to proudly say

That's MY baby boy, and I love him SOO much

So smart for a boy of two, he knows what a cow looks like and can make noises like one too!

When he plays with his toys he makes the biggest smile, makes it double the worth to watch him all the while.

Sometimes he screams and it hurts so bad, but to hold him in my arms I suddenly don't feel so sad.

But it's always worth it to me, to know he will make happy and beautiful memories,

for me to look back at and see....... how happy this little boy made me!

Who knew one child could bring such love and joy to me?

When he gets older he will be the one to see, not only did he bring love, happiness, and laughter to me, he brought it to everyone he could possibly see!

It all started the moment you opened your eyes,

I was in shock, a boy, what a surprise,

Your little toes wiggled,

I pictured in my mind your perfect little giggle,

You were something so new to me,

But I was so proud to have a piece of me,

That I could hold forever,

You would always be mine,

I thought to myself..

I hope you will grow up to be caring and kind,

I dressed you in the cutest clothes I could find,

You stared at light so much...

I'm surprised you're not blind,

Through all the spit up and mess,

We always did our best,

With all the moments we shared,

We make an amazing pair,

Your getting so big,

I can hardly believe it,

Well I can,

I'm just shocked to see it,

Your learning so much,

And talking a bunch,

Bouncing all over the place,

With the worlds biggest smile on your face,

And in my heart you will always have a place,

Your mom is what I will always be,

We are linked in the most amazing family tree,

We will always have a bond like no one could know,

and who would have thought,

That it would all start with your wiggling toes.
