I love this picture of Chou-chou in his navyblue turtleneck with spaghetti all over his face. There's something about turtlenecks this time of year and spaghetti dinners at home that give me warm fuzzies all over. Lately, or really since Chou-chou's birthday I would say, I feel like we're more and more of a family and Chou-chou has his own contribution to our goings on. Chou-chou's blossoming, coupled with this great crisp fall weather we've been having, makes me just feel like life as a wife and mother is grand! So much easier than last year at this same time! Maybe these high-on-life feelings have something to do with buying a house, too, but regardless I feel so blessed to have such great guys in my life.
I've been gung-hoe on making Chou-chou's chicken costume for Halloween and starting in on all my homemade Christmas presents, too! I know that every year I start with the best of intentions and then end up buying everything, but somehow I think this year might be different. I think I have enough crafty "tricks up my sleeve" to pull it off... we shall see. I've been feeling so domestic and suzy-homemakerish lately! I'm not sure what I think about this, but for some reason at this point in my life it feels right. This, of course, has no bearing on what I think women with babies should be doing or anything... to each her own. And I know how fortunate I am to be at home with Chou-chou most of the time; for most people this isn't a reality. But before I write a novel to justify my feelings, I'll just sign-off. Sheesh!!
