School photos

They combed his hair AND got him to smile. He picked the starry background. Our baby is really in school now!

Belated birthday

So I turned 40 a couple of weeks ago, and after much contemplation I realized that what I most missed in my life was music. And so we took this beauty off the hands of a teenage girl whose mother was tired of trying to get her to practice. I think we were all thrilled about the arrangement except the mother. Turns out there are 500 different sounds, including about 20 varieties of piano and every instrument you can imagine, and Ethan's favorite is #500: fireworks. And Austin would rather hear ABCD over and over than a Beethoven Sonata. So we're all enjoying it in our own ways, just as it should be.

The Stolen Child

Where dips the rocky highland

Of Sleuth Wood in the lake,

There lies a leafy island

Where flapping herons wake

The drowsy water rats;

There we've hid our faery vats,

Full of berrys

And of reddest stolen cherries.

Come away, O human child!

To the waters and the wild

With a faery, hand in hand.

For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
