Longest day of the year!
This weekend is the summer solstice. I love the long days and warm nights. Summer is here and its' been a while since I've posted. I'm sorry for checking out for a little while. I'd give you a list of excuses like, my camera went missing, we've been busy, Bugs hasn't been doing anything interesting...but, we all know those are not going to fly. I've just chosen to do other things. I hope to make it up to you with some new pictures and videos.
Here is a video from June 5th. I think Bugs is really lucky to have a dad like Matt. He will teach her good rhythm and not to take herself too seriously.

Friday, we hiked up to this waterfall along the Hesse trail in Eldora. This is the trial that Mark and Cindy hiked with us with a little wee Haven.
Haven enjoyed sucking on a mango skin for a long time. Lesson here...mangos are the BEST hiking snack...you need to bring a good knife.
And, again with the mango, Shyla, Neddy, and Dad.
Uh oh. I dropped my mango!
Today we went for another hike and payed close attention to the macro-world.
We carry her and she sleeps...we are blessed with a child who loves her sleep!

Out on the Weekend
We stepped up our camping this year with a karmically broken in by our best friends pop-up. We got it out this weekend and bonded with nature for a full 24 hours. We sat, we ate, we swung, we walked, and watched the ambers go out.
Bugs climbed on her camping chair. Someday she will sit it in along side us and we will be still together. But, not yet.
Shyla is always in her element in the woods. She reads the newspaper and makes us dinner. Or, she cries at the door and goes piphogs crazy.

The other side of sick
Check out some new pictures here>>>

Emerging from the other side of virus infestation hungrier, faster, more ambitious, and down right defiant. I love it. She's getting to be a grubby little kid.
We had a nice weekend hanging around, enjoying recovery and the beginnings of spring. The family treated me well for Mother's day letting me sleep in and sharing a nice long hike up bear canyon. We shared an avacado and cheese sandwich with bugs and said happy mothers day to the loving families we passed in true Boulder style. There was a silent appreciation uttered through upturned lips with a woman wiping her childs runny nose. Someday that child will have a child of her own, and truly understand what her mother meant by that care. I'm starting to understand the joy, undefinable love, sacrifice, worry, pride, struggle for time, and selflessness that a mother has for her child.
Here's a lazy day picture of my new love....the quilt on the bed of course!

Spruced Up
Before:
After:
I didn't think I'd do the barrett thing...but it's too sweet to pass up. Good to have options. That's the line I'm going to use to get her to like her curly hair. That and be thankful you live in the dry climate of Colorado...you'd really hate your mother if you had those curls in the humidity:)

Shyla says, "What's so funny? and, give me my baby?"
Grandpa Anapol was so nice to get Haven this doll on her visit to Boston. Unfortunetly, Shyla loved the doll so much she took her outside and buried her in the backyard. When Shyla brought the doll inside for bed, we took the doll away from her and put her on top of the fridge, out of site. Oh, Shyla wanted to be that dolls mother so bad she cried and cried. It must be her nurturing side stimulated by Bug's (Snug Bug's...) arrival.

I was afraid of water, but not anymore!
Not if you heat the hottub to 97 and suit me with a Driving Miss Daisies Hat.
Lap Swim Next from susan shultz on Vimeo.
Florida. It's beautiful. Flat. But beautiful. The pelicans make you feel you are amoungst dinasours. The Bougainvillia flowering vines and bushes around where my parents live captivate with a welcome of pink flowers. I say I love Colorado for the mountains. But, the lushness of the tropical environment certainly holds a candle to the mountains, surfaces breathing water right in front of you. But being away from the mountains leaves me wanting. I'll give up the wet for the elevations gain. The ocean for the rocks. The Bouganvillia for the Aspens. I get to have my cake and eat it too. Visiting the east, because of nature, or more importantly because of relationships...we live well.
I have so much more to share, it's been a busy couple weeks. I haven't even touched on meeting a new miricale. The second born. We are the chosen ones...just keep it to yourself.
Zach Attack, not Jack or Mac,
wondering if he should pack,
stick around, sit on your sac.
use your voice, you'll get the nac.
