The Swing!


How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
River and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside--
Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown--
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!

Robert Louis Stevenson

Isn't this just pure happiness?!

SHe looks like a little girl now and not a baby. I guess she is almost 2. What a cutie pie and wish her and Anna could be best friends- they would have so much fun. Miss you guys terribly and hope to see you sooner than later. Love to you all.

Don't you wish we could still find that much joy in the simple things in life. I am going to find a swing this week and savor every moment.

I love that poem. It reminds me of mom. I think Lucy is the best.

She is a dollface, and is as pleasant acting as she is cute. I love her.

That swing was a good investment. I love Lucy to look at me and say side side.
