Motherhood should come with… Faith. A great partner. A manual? Lots of patience and an extra measure of grace. Motherhood definitely brings a whole lot of perspective to one’s life. It should come with a good play dough recipe, imagination and creativity. Motherhood should be shared with friends. It should come with a sewing machine and patterns to make her children’s favorite costumes. It should come with a way to save, store and remember all the little everyday sweetness that so quickly fades. Motherhood should come with lots of bins and shelves to organize all the special treasures that her little ones create and store. Motherhood should come with a strong heart to bear all the joy, pain, hope, disappointment, fear, and uncertainty.

Cam has been gone since Thursday morning and we miss him a lot! The boys and I spend tons of time together throughout the week- like pretty much most of our waking hours- and we very much look forward to having dad home in the evening and on the weekends. In Cam’s absence, the weekend has definitely had it’s ups and downs.

This picture was from today at Boulevard- one of the “up” moments of the weekend :) Being brothers is so different than being sisters- for many obvious reasons but mainly I see the differences in terms of the physical expressions. My sisters and I would find the smallest couch, chair, bed or whatever and all pile onto it like “puppies” as Cam would call us. Sean and Caleb also are like “puppies” but in a more aggressive way. They are always in constant contact with each other but it’s more like wrestling for who’s most dominant. They love each other more than words can describe but they also find their best/worst opponent in each other. Some days it’s very balanced and then there are days like today…

Looking forward to finishing out our weekend with Cam tomorrow!

Caleb’s 1st attempt:

Hello, I am your great-great grandpa.

1. I am a Christian
2. I still like teddy bears
3. I am homeschooled
4. I like riding bikes outside and being active
5. Sorry if I smell bad, I don’t shower often enough

Caleb’s 2nd attempt:

I am sorry you won’t be able to meet me but I want to tell you some of the most important things to me. There was a place that my brother, my grandpa, my uncle and I built. It was called Pirate Beach. We had treasure chests, a tree house, and swords. It was a very fun place. It was at my grandpa’s beach on the lake. There are lots of other things I could tell you about my childhood. I had a dog named Sam. How should I tell you about my brother? Well, his name is Sean Michael Watters and he is fourteen months older than me. He’s my best friend. He’s the best brother in the world. He is my only brother. My grandpa’s name is Michael Sean Watters and Sean is named after him. I haven’t even talked about my mom and dad yet. They were the best parents ever!!!! My dad worked really hard at everything he did and I was proud of him. My mom loved me so much she taught me at home. I couldn’t ask for better parents. Well that’s all for now.

Sean’s:

Sean M. Watters’ Last Will and Testament

To my youngest great, great grandson, my youngest son’s son:

I give you my most prized possession from my childhood. It is entrusted to you, my youngest great, great grandson, because as I was growing up my younger brother, Caleb, always had the imagination. He was always laughing, dressing up in a costume or goofing off. Sometimes he drove me crazy but he always made me laugh. Sometimes in movies, TV shows or books the big brother is often shown teaching the younger brother. In my case, my little brother taught me how to use my imagination and because of that, I am entrusting you- the youngest with Pirate Beach.

To my oldest great, great grandson:

I entrust you with my journal and my compass because you are the most intelligent.

To my second to oldest great, great grandson:

I entrust you with my sword and pistol because of your bravery.

In the case that my great grandson does not have children, he would get everything. If he only has two sons, the younger one would get my sword and the older one would get my pistol. If he has more than three sons they can split all of my weapons and old tools.

Summer hasn’t officially begun yet but we are sure enjoying this beautiful weather while it lasts. The boys are nearly done with school– just a few more math and spelling assignments to go. We plan to spend as many sunny afternoons as we can at the beach, having fun and creating the best childhood memories. Is it just me, or do these boys look so much bigger than they did last summer Hannibal move

Shhh… this is top secret stuff! Admittance to Pirate Beach is by invitation only!

If you want to proceed, you’ll have to get by this guy

This pirate looks a little more welcoming

Can you climb a rope? It’ll be necessary.

Are you brave enough to proceed?

Don’t forget, this pirate doesn’t take kindly to strangers!

Don’t even think about approaching this beach by boat!

Maybe he’s not as friendly as we first thought!

Or maybe he is, just not to his brother!

This little pirate isn’t old enough for rum–he’ll have to stick with apple juice.

Too much juice for this pirate! Maybe that’s why he’s so cranky?

Last week the boys each had 2 games. We had an extremely busy week on top of all the sports stuff. We had commitments every morning and evening last week– it was too much. Today we are going to stay in our jammies as long as we want and just relax. We may go for a walk or a hike later this afternoon.

Hopefully, taking this time to relax today will help us get through our next super busy week with a little more calm and kindness.

Only 4 weeks to SoCal! We are so looking forward to our vacation.

Death in Love

“Many years ago, on this very spot there was a beautiful city of fine houses and inviting spaces, and no one who ever lived here was ever in a hurry. The streets were full of wonderful things to see and the people would often stop and look at them.”

“Didn’t they have any place to go?” asked Milo.

“To be sure, ” continued Alec; “but, as you know, the most important reason for going from one place to another is to see what’s in between, and they took great pleasure in doing just that. Then one day someone discovered that if you walked as fast as possible and looked at nothing but your shoes you would arrive at your destination much more quickly. Soon everyone was doing it. They all rushed down the avenues and hurried along the boulevards seeing nothing of the wonders and beauties of their city as they went.”

Milo remembered the many times he’d done the very same thing; and, as hard as he tried, there were even things on his own street that he couldn’t remember.

“No one paid any attention to how things looked, and as they moved faster and faster everything grew uglier and dirtier, and as everything grew uglier and dirtier they moved faster and faster, and at last a very strange thing began to happen. Because nobody cared, the city slowly began to disappear. Day by day the buildings grew fainter and fainter, and the streets faded away, until at last it was entirely invisible. There was nothing to see at all.”
