Porter had the foresight to ask that Bear wear a seat belt.
Practicing sitting on the “potty”.
There is a breakfast place in town called Goldy’s. I really like it, and so does the rest of Boise. Porter and I took a chance to have breakfast there this morning because the only time you can walk right in and sit down is in the middle of the week, early in the morning. He’s getting so proficient at using utensils and his manners are good too.
Having a two-year-old is like having a blender that you don’t have the top for.

Today I wished I was this cat.

The exact quote, while gazing lovingly at the ketchup and nodding his head with a sigh, “Mmm, I love this stuff.”
For the first time, Porter pedaled for the majority of the ride. After weeks of only going around the neighborhood because Porter wouldn’t stay on the bike, we finally made it all the way to the coffee shop. It was glorious!
A friend should be one in whose understanding and virtue we can equally confide,
and whose opinion we can value at once for its justness and sincerity.

Had coffee with my friend and midwife Holly today. It was both invigorating and soothing to talk with someone who feels the same way about birth as I do. And to know that our husbands are happy to spend the afternoon with our children so we could catch up. So blessed are we.

While I was out Luke and Porter realized that with all of the planes, trains and automobiles we posses, somehow we have no boats. Thankfully they are creative and constructed this awesome ship.
Farm fresh, pastured, local, non-GMO eggs and goat cheese from Green Goat Dairy. We are spoiled. I love this farm!! Eat Real Food.

Walking the walk. Breakfast this week included Dutch Baby pancakes made with Green Goat eggs, organic Einkorn flour, and organic sugar. Topped with locally sourced and home canned white peaches form Williamson Orchard.
Earth teach me to forget myself as melted snow forgets its life. Earth teach me resignation as the leaves which die in the fall. Earth teach me courage as the tree which stands all alone. Earth teach me regeneration as the seed which rises in the spring.

Porter tried pomegranate seeds for the first time today. We shared them during our tea party. They were the sweetest juiciest kernels I’ve ever had and he loved them.
