Free as a (Muddy) Bird









If anyone knows anything about Mary, she loves mud. Gritty mud, slimy mud, brown puddles with who-knows-what inside, she just can't get enough mud. We were in the front yard and she slathered the stuff on her and ran around in circles- "Look, mom!! I a bird!" she exclaimed. Brother, on the other hand, gets rather disgusted if he has anything, even crumbs, on his hand. He has a fantastic time chasing his sister, which gets them both hysterical.

Oh, and for the record, no, I don't always allow Mary to run around like a lunatic in her underwear in the front yard. But this day was an exception (which I suppose I allow maybe too much :)

I think I have the opposite here. James loves dirt and mud and Kessa can't stand it. They kids look like they are having a good time though. That one of Russell sure looks like his daddy!!! Todd was such a beautiful little boy!!

We miss you guys - it was -10 today and we need some more bodies to snuggle with to stay warm.

Yup, that's our little Mary! I think she would love being a bird...she could sit in trees as much as she would like!!
