Sunday Snaps

1. "You can do it, Fable!"

And we cheered until she did:

Crawling for the very first time into my arms.

2. "Choose your art," we told him. "Whatever makes you happy."

Two hours later, we left the craft fair

with a rolled-up print of a cowboy riding a seahorse.

3. Over dinner I looked around

at my husband, children, new friends

and thought, "how fun it is to be a grown-up."

4. I cut his hair myself. Messed up the layers,

accidentally cut crooked bangs. And yet...

"I love it, Mommy! You made it so I can see now!"

5. I rocked her in my arms

on the foot of his bed,

singing them both to sleep

with one song.
