A Grandfather’s Love, Demonstrated in Freeze Pops

As the weather starts to break a bit, we make plans for Spring Break, and I book my kids in a variety of Summer camps,  I am reminded that this summer will be different because we won't have my dad to share the summer with,  My dad kept these on the rotation, in every flavor. Not even sure how he gets them now because I think they are the equivalent of "kid crack"--made with artificial coloring, flavoring, and sugar . To my kids though, these freeze pops were love and summer wrapped in a bow.

Wordless Wednesday-He's Stolen My Heart

A cute baby and a stuffed animal

I cannot believe that I have to give up spending my days with this cutie in a couple of weeks. He stole my heart right from the start. I am certain that I shall go through withdrawal the first week I am back from work.
My only consolation is that some women get far less maternity leave. Focusing on that, instead of the very generous family leave provided in certain European countries, will give me solace.

Until my leave has been exhausted, I have promises to keep and more evenings before I sleep...
