Scenes To Remember:

-Benicio sitting across the floor from Maxine, holding his ipod earbuds up to her ears.
-Clara standing with her ballerina peers, all in pale pink with their hair up in neat buns (as per the dance school handbook).
-catching a glimpse of Manny in the backseat, arm around the seat next to him and chewing gum, I was startled at this glimpse of him as an adult.
-Geoff using a compressor and a nail gun to put the wainscotting in the first floor powder room.
-biking in the dewy late summer morning with Cloe singing to herself behind me.
-singing "One Bread, One Body" at Mass and not needing the hymnal.
-meeting our neighbor in the backyard where she gave me a requested lime (mojitos!) and a gift of a bottle of white wine called, "Mommy's Time Out."
