but time is still just a crazy-beautiful kite whose strings i can only just barely grasp the tips of once in a blue moon
a few highlights in word since last i wrote:
celebrating
• one third birthday with veggie tales and chocolate cake
(my little baker, explaining the intricacies of wacky cake)
• one beautiful cousin's second birthday with nemo and friends
• one visit to land-o-lincoln
(here in front of abe and mary's home!)
(on the door it says A. Lincoln, and in front of the door is a Lincoln, a Neva and a Rowan... :)
• to celebrate one seventh birthday with phenomenal field trips & family
• one BIRTH day of new baby boy cousin, brother to nemo-devotee
(here are the two boys born-on-a-tuesday-in-middlemarch, just 1 day shy of being exactly 7 years apart)
• 4 people carrying 6 backpacks, 2 bulky bags, 1 bulky carseat, 1 booster, and one aforementioned three year old across 6 airports, 2 suburbs, and 5.5 days to have a fantastic time with one adorable cousin and 6 other delightful family members plus a variety of other lovely people
...arriving back in the driveway on an unsuspecting Monday evening with a 15 margin between 2 parents to teach
• 4 lovely piano students, and attend 1 meeting
