Puzzles on the kitchen floor and Uncle Rico moments.

This morning I cleaned my kitchen floor. 
(yay me!)
Henry always knows it's safe to pull out the giant floor puzzles after I mop. 
No one likes to do giant floor puzzles on a dirty floor.



This morning I also came across two blogs by young women who are living out a dream I once had. 
One I was a dance coach to, the other was a younger sister of my good friend and dance teammate. 



These moments always bring out the Uncle Rico living in a corner of my brain. 
My brain says,"If I wudda just done this - oh, life would be so different."
I'm so grateful for my life now. 
(all except the presence of RA- will I ever be grateful for that?)
I'm so grateful for the dance experience of my past. 
But sometimes it's hard to keep the Uncle Rico boxed up and hidden in my brain.

I so understand the feeling. I get it all the time. BUT, I also wouldn't want to be a dancer as a profession... So, ya. I have to try and remember that sometimes. Love this clip. So great. haha!

Oh there is an unlce Rico in all of us! That's good though - at least we have a past with good memories.
Henery is ADORABLE!
I like your pinterest post. I have yet to use pinterest. I looked once, but haven't gotten into it. I am totally doing that crockpot soup this week. THANK YOU for sharing.
I MISS YOU!

Henry is so cute!

And I'm absolutely with you on the Uncle Rico thing. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I had done something different. But then if I had something different, no promises that it's be as awesome as my dreams. I just remember to count my blessings! I know you sure do!
