Biggest Little Photographer Arrives – We Did It

Would Anyone Believe?

September 6 2016:

Thomas and Camilla August 2016 date day …. (Our date day got postponed by a few days as Thomas was sick!)

Little Washoe Lake …. “Would anyone believe that playing with sticks and walking and splashing in the water would be so fun?” -Thomas. This was an impromptu stop as we drove right by on our way home from Carson City. And it was Thomas’ idea …. Kinda. As I had just thought, we should stop by the lake. Hmmm.

The wind was blowing like crazy and I accidentally took the first two pictures of the sky! My phone takes random pictures as this case doesn’t quite fit it properly. They turned out awesome!

Thomas told me he was having so much fun and was so happy we stopped. I sat in the sand and watched him a while and then he asked me to join him. And I did. Took off my shoes and walked and splashed with him.

Cost of this date = $0 / Value = Priceless xoxo

The Most Refreshing Feeling

July 30 2016:

This was one of the MOST refreshing feelings ever! It was nearly 100 degrees yesterday and we went swimming! Felt so good!!! Thomas loves floating in the water … being still and quiet. There were a few really cool clouds to give us brief breaks from the gorgeous son! xoxo

Blessings,
Thomas, Lillian and Camilla = Team TLC

I Want to Write Books

“Mom, I bet people who write books liked to read when they were growing up and they want to write books to make other people feel good. Is that why you wrote your book? When I grow up I want to write books, even though I know it’s gonna be hard.” –Thomas Darnell ….

All this after asking why the streets in Venice are full of water and other questions I can’t even remember now!! ♥ ♥ ♥

North and South Pole and Pluto

I am just blown away by the dinner conversations with Thomas …. “Mom, I know why it’s always cold in the North and South Pole. It has to do with how the Earth rotates … (and then he demonstrates it for me).

What’s in space past all the planets? Does it just go on and on? Has man been to Pluto? Have there ever been any space emergencies? (I started telling him about the space shuttle that exploded …) He says oh, like what happened with the Titanic in the Ocean. If disasters were like family they would be cousins …”

And much more that I can’t even remember!! WOW!! Love that little dude!!

Celebration Dinner and Snuggling

April 20 2012:

Celebration dinner. Marsala chicken, mashed potatoes, garlic cheese bread and caesar salad. Got our “Welcome to High Desert Montessori” message for next school year for Thomas and Lillian!!! YAY!!! Here’s to Team TLC!!

Pure BLISS …. Snuggling with Thomas and Lillian on the patio last night as the stars became visible and darkness approached, talking about the stars and listening to all the sounds … I’m grateful for these little moments. Life blossoms when we stop and soak in the precious gifts it holds for us … Happy Saturday Y’all!!

I am blessed to have both Thomas and Lillian in my life … They have taught and continue to teach me so much about the true meaning of life.

Blessings,
