days and days: besides that.

Well, I do have a few pics and words to share besides that. :)

There's been lots of nekedness, of course. Well, for one of us, anyway. The rest of us run around in our drawers, at least.

Trev read something to someone -must have been one of the Boys- yesterday, and his reading was fluid and smooth, not stilted or disconnected. I was amazed at such complicated words coming so effortlessly out of his mouth.
This whole reading process is such a beautiful thing to see. I can't imagine missing out on the joys of it-- discovery, self-confidence, wonder... the gifts given both of us by learning this naturally have been immeasurable.

Madeleine has been writing letters.
Trev was playing JS2G World the other day and recognized misspelled words far beyond what I had supposed he was capable. That was a surprise.

There have been tea parties
and love words whispered to the pumpkins

and plans made with friends

and warm, so delicious! blackberries off our vine.

There has been rain

and sunshine.

Cool, beautiful nights

and quiet, blissful mornings.

There has been reading
and swimming
and dressing babies (a new interest, that)
and jumping

and singing

and Friends

and harvesting
and creating.
