child-like innocence

exactly, i felt it tonite when i took the kids bowling. they knock down 2 pins after the ball bounces back and forth between the bumpers and do a happy dance. After each of my turns they high fived and hugged and kissed me, "Go mom, it's your birthday". I am so thankful for being able to glimpse the world though their eyes on a daily basis. it keeps life in perspective.

I think I may have posted this someplace once before but:



Circa 1983



circa fall 2004

21 years later and I still make the same dorky faces.

I'm still upset that Mr. Hooper died.
