a morning of doughnuts it was...and a rough week overall last week. two kids with the worst runny noses i've seen, two kids with coughs, all of us with pink eye and two kids with ear infections. oh yea, and ryder accidentally getting stabbed under his eye with a ball point pen--that's how the week began. but we made it through and everyone is now almost healthy, getting better every day. i'm thankful for today...looking forward to tomorrow.

and the pic--it was from at the dining room table, eating doughnuts this morning. nothing fancy--just a look from a boy that's growing up way too fast. rarely do i get eye contact from ryder so when i do, well...i guess i treasure it no matter what the expression is :-)

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in, forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day, you shall begin it well and serenely..."
