a few tender memories.

ossi and woof.

finn did the dishes without being asked. when grilled by his big brother he admitted he, "wanted to serve mom." ossi was so perplexed. he asked finn, "you mean you want something from mom?" finn answered, "no." maybe someday ossi will understand. i hope. finn was born with the capacity to give without expecting anything in return. it's just beautiful.

evy outgrew these overalls. sad day.
i miss liam's face in the pictures. but there was so long when his grins dominated. as the oldest he was even a single act for a while there. still, i am going to make a special effort to pull my camera out when he's about.
