you've done been blogged, tiny photos.

(Ossi calls this his "air ball.")

(what is it with kids and dumping out bins? they must just like to watch the stuff fall out.)


(nudity is Finn's favorite conversation-starter. when there's nothing to say, moon somebody.)


can i just say this? that I LOVE PEOPLE. especially the people we associate with on a regular basis. I think that over the past few months we've found so much fruit (or people ringing our doorbell, holding fruit) on our doorstep. it's not always fruit, but lots of times it's fruit. people hear about Ossi's special dietary constraints and so lovingly go out of their way to bring by treats we can enjoy.

while i was calling around to talk to different therapists, hoping to find someone of our faith for Ossi to go see, i was amazed by the positive responses and sincere concern the voices over the phone conveyed, from everyone, our faith or otherwise. one man who knew for certain that our insurance would not work called me anyway and spent nearly 40 minutes speaking rapidly to fit as many ideas in as he could. he gave me a glorious game plan for peacefully parenting when things get very, very hard. 40 minutes of unbillable time. I LOVE PEOPLE.

if you've reached out to us in kindness during these challenging times can i just say, I LOVE YOU. thank you, thank you, thank you. a million thanks.

(go to this link to LOVE PEOPLE even more.)



and now i'll end. with a beautiful mess. isn't life pretty?
