Tuesday's Treasures ~ A Quiet Moment

Handsome Hudson is sitting out in front of his house immersed in his studies before dinner. Sometimes it takes concentration in a quiet, calm spot away from the distractions of sister and his family to really comprehend an assignment.

I often marvel at how just yesterday it seemed Hudson came into this world and how quickly I'm watching him morph into a young man. I’m remembering a line my Geno read me from his favorite author, Robert Frost, and learning to enjoy those middles.

“Endings and beginnings – there are no such things. There are only middles.” Robert Frost

That is a wonderful picture. It truly shows how he has grown, seemingly overnight. He is going to be tall like his dad.

I think it hard, for any of us, to find that place where we can find that special place, let alone focus and study there. Brovo Hudson 👍👍👍

Handsome Hudson is certainly an apt name for him! He certainly does seem engrossed in his studies.

I have found that if there are loud raucous grandkids in the house, you only need to hand them a tech gadget or Legos, and they quiet right down!

It is fun to see Hudson entranced by whatever he's reading. Great place to sit, be quite and concentrate. Very smart young man!

Before even reading what you had written I was thinking how much older he is beginning to look. I love that you share photos of them with us and we get to be part of their lives without ever truly being part in them, haha.

I saw that picture and couldn't believe it, Dorie! He's growing into such a young man - and an even more Handsome Hudson!

Love the Robert Frost quote and it certainly is fitting for this post too.

Morning Dorie.

He does look deep in thought. I wonder, are you proud of him? No need to answer, I already know.
