Transitioning

"Mama, what transitioning means again?" 
That was my 6 y/o question the other day, while in the car picking him up from summer school.
His question led to a deeper conversation about weather and how we were transitioning from summer to fall, little by little. How you could see, -while seasons transition- a little bit of one and a little bit of the other too, in a gentle but determined process, over and over again. On this part of our talk he assured me he will be the weather man one day.

This conversation with my little one took me to even deeper waters and beautiful realizations. Just the fact that he was asking me what transitioning meant was a piece of evidence that he is growing so fast, a transformation process right there in front of my eyes. This little guy was a baby yesterday and in no time he has become this curious and amazing big boy, going to first grade and absorbing the world like a sponge. Talking about transitioning. I saw him through the mirror while chatting and I could see too, like the weather, a little bit of my baby and a little bit of my big boy. They grow so fast, what a repeated phrase, isn't it? We parents like that phrase, we say it over and over; they grow so fast. Yes they do, and they also transition into these amazing human beings. 

Well yes, August 23rd. and if you watch closely you can see we are transitioning into fall. We are having a great summer weather still, summer's here for a little longer, I guess, but if you only look closer no doubts fall is leaning out and warning us that it is on its way.

Some summer pictures and a little leaf sending a clear message.....

Have a great week, healthy and safe.

When grandma and grandpa come to town

My parents have been in town with us for three weeks now. It has been everything I was expecting and much more. My house feels full, the -good- full. I feel so happy with them around. In our family, we talk a lot. Some times I feel we talk too much. So, lots of talking around here these days; lots of good conversations-, and lots of everything else; good food, memories, outings, photos, laugh, fights (yep, that too) and much more (like in an infomercial). It has been a blessing to have my parents here. It has been amazing for our son to share this time with them. They will be with us one more week and we will try to make the best out of it. I know my heart will be broken to see them leave but I guess I will focus on the next trip and the next time we all will see each other again. Some photos with grandma and grandpa and our days together, simple but great days together. around New Glaurus, WI. Blurry one. a beautiful evening at Picnic Point in Madison, WI. P...

Madison in the summer

For some reason, I don't want to let go of the idea of warm summer-days this year.  Every year and right at this point when summer is kind of fading away and the cool breeze rolls into the city, I usually feel excited and inspired by the arrival of the Fall season and its beautiful colors; not this year. I'm longing for more sunny days, and sunshine and summer scenes like the ones below in my pictures. Not ready for layers yet. Not ready for cold days. But we live in the northern midwest area of the country and seasons don't play around here, they get on time and do their job. I won't complain much, still three full weeks of summer (with grandma and grandpa) and to be fair September is a gorgeous month in Madison as well. Some pictures of beautiful Madison in the summer. Good week to all. Peace and good health, friends.

Lately

It's been so long. I feel I haven't post anything in ages. Life has been seriously busy lately, that's why. And it seems that is the general tendency among friends. Whoever I talk to, they are trying to juggle a million things at once. That's life these days, I guess. The news have been scary, lately. Around the globe. Very scary. This year we have seen all kind of sadness, craziness, nonsense around the world. Even natural disasters have been horrific. And it seems it escalates year after year. To be honest the last few motnhs I have felt the need to hide, to retreat and protect my loved ones. To move somewhere where nothing can reach us, not even social media or TV... -especially social media and TV- But how? How we protect the people we love? How do we hide? Where do we go? Not sure where the world is going and if you have kids it can get really really scary at times. Is this the world we are leaving to them? What I'm sure about though is that more ...
