I guess it's a good thing that I have two boys in January --or i would never blog--
But seriously can you believe that I have a thirteen year old at home--
It's so crazy --It hit me when I went to pick up his gifts--A hatchet, a hunting knife and a wallet. I realized--Oh my god --these are man gift. Gifts that come with an implied responsiblity and honor.
So as I gushed to the cashier about my boys birthday --I teared up --Its begun --My little boy taking steps away from his mothers heart and becoming a man.
It was 13 years ago my little man arrive 3 1/2 weeks early --just as the snow started to fall in 1996, my water broke --surprising me. This kid still surprises me --with his tender heart and loving eyes he has taught me how to live outside my self -How to sacrifice unconditionally for the better of my children, how to slow down and observe nature, and how to appreciate being a mother.
He's my right hand man --preserver of my sanity, keeper of the goats and champion of the sledding hill--HE IS MY LLIAMINATOR!!
Happy Birthday Buddy -

Happy Birthday Lliam!
I can't believe he's getting man gifts! He'll love making all sorts of contraptions out of them! I mean... a hatchet?? That is the coolest ever!
I remember when he was Alli's age... making cat traps on my parents stairs.. He's always been the cutest kid. :)
The thing I love about Lliam is his huge imagination. Ok I envy it, I wish Rylan was like that. I remember when I first met him he would just play and play all by himself. He would come up with all these great senerios that I would want to play with him! He has got to be one of the most level-headed, smartest, and patient boys... I mean "men" I know.
Hi--thanks for your comment on my blog! I appreciate any help I can get and I loved your ideas!! The tiles are not ceramic..they are plastic. Isn't that TERRIBLE!?!? :) I took on into the paint store and they said just scruffing them a little with sandpaper, cleaning them really well, and priming first would do the trick. Shouldn't be a problem.
What a project!! :) Hoping to make something beautiful of this space...
