six weeks of wonder


well the days are full and quick and sleep is fast it seems since not long ago a full night's was taken for granted, now taken for normal, which keeps on changing. i can get into this i was thinking and now i am and although all could not have been anticipated life is sweet and full of wonder...



today marks the end of 6th week of lil jones' being here with us, the end of an era kinda ? well, maybe not really since what i read and know about these things, which isn't all that much, is that change is perpetual, sometimes gradual and unexpected or fast and anticipated but as in any great event the challenges are forthcoming and generally fruitful so, i wonder away and look forward to the day that i will kick the ball, walk the links or simply enjoy a big juicy ok peach together. speaking of frooits, several of my time-rendering projects around the yard now have lots to show for it...






the clothes line is up like a charm for all the "fuzzi bunz" were plowing through these days thank you Anastasia for sending us so many as we've needed...




one afternoon while working on the playhouse patio with Lorne these things appeared on the side of the deck, at first i was quite startled then tickled to have had them here to see, i think they are long-lost cousins of this one that showed up at Klay's one day. i guess they are Saturniid moths of the silky moth family not as fuzzy and the fuzzer above though - ooh! who's that? fuzzy cuteness.

so jonah has had, i believe, 6 great weeks of life thus far. he's had 3 of his 4 grandparents here to visit and love him up; Lorne and Lorna just days after his birth and Jessie more recently also spent a week with us. He's had of course many "firsts", which now litter the calendar Tara made for us and soon he'll meet many more of you as we decend first on Edmonton for Laisha's family affair next weekend then the Seymour clan's gathering in Clearwater the week after, looking forward to seeing you all...
