The Sound of "Catch Up"


Girls in white dresses

in new ballet classes,
Babies with big cheeks

and State Fair sunglasses,




            Pumpkins for carving,






And fourth birthday flings,
THESE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS.



Pictures of Spencer with hands in his pockets,


Playschool,
meets turbans
and two girls that rock it,



Short trips to Cleveland,

and siblings on swings,
THESE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS.


Babies in bumbos with binkies for chewing,
first days of preschool without much boo-hooing,


Memories of past schools and tassels of strings,
THESE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS!

At the doctor,
on a long day,


when we might feel sad,




we simply remember our favorite times, and then we don't feel so bad!


Bear suits on brothers
and infant swim lessons
New homes with washers---not hour long dish sessions (woo hoo!),

Soccer

and standing
and Sunday mornings,
THESE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS.



Swimming with cousins
and afternoon puzzles,







Sweet tricks and nodding

and Luke baby nuzzles,





Holiday parties---the break that they bring,

THESE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS.

When the tests bite,
when the schedules sting,
when we're feeling sad,
we simply remember our favorite things
and then we don't feel so bad!
