train of thoughts...

in the past week, after holding a newborn, talking to my friend about her one year old, a visit from my aunt and cousin, talking to grandpa about his doctor's appointment and talking to syl about how it is "normal" in our family to have a train of thoughts...mine began when i looked down and saw this left by ewie (right before he dropped the cantaloupe)...

then i wondered how we went so quickly from this...

to this...

to this...

and i wondered if grandpa was okay after his doctors appointment, digesting everything and knows he is doing great right now and we love him....

and i wondered if my mom was with us when i talked with syl about a train of thoughts which let to great pictures drawn by syl and a great talk and lots of memories of mom having the same talk with me...

and i got chill bumps remembering syl laying on aunt jeanne's lap and aunt jeanne rubbing her back and libby saying, "i loved that when you rubbed my back like that," and thinking, i loved when my mom rubbed my back that way too...

and then i saw this...

and remembered how much cam loves it and how he puts his head down to watch the wheels, pulling it apart and putting it together because he can and how ewie just wants to do the same thing but cam will not let him touch it when he is in the same room...but luckily we have a dump truck and wagon...

i am overwhelmed with love by these boyz...
