Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Finished up a training course on C# here in the building at work. That was from Monday-Thursday. These kinds of things are mostly useful for the book and CD with the exercise solutions, as you usually cover so much so fast, it's the proverbial drink of water from a firehose.

Yesterday Hanna went to the doctor for a couple of shots. Apparently her memory works just fine. When she went into the clinic she started to cry, and when she saw the person who gave her shots last time she cried, and when she saw Dr. Kuku she cried. And didn't seem to like getting stuck with a needle any better than last time. Rhonda said she howled pretty good.

The shots might have made her a bit off kilter the rest of the day. Rhonda went to look at some rummage sales last night, so I had the kids alone, and she was a bit fussy. She had a messy diaper, so I changed that, but she was still fussing, so I gave her a bit of Motrin, and that seemed to help. She was more her usual happy self after that, but by bedtime she was fussy again. She slept good though.

Her skin is looking better. Rhonda has been putting cream on her regularly, but she said ecsema is maybe something that just doesn't go away? I don't know. So maybe it's something we'll have to keep an eye on for awhile? The doctor mentioned putting Vaseline on her after baths.

John went over to Sue's house yesterday. He enjoyed that, as he hadn't been there since before we left to go get Hanna. We told him the night before he was going, and he said "go now!".

The last few nights after I put in him in his crib, he's said "hide and seek", and pulled the blanket over his head. Last night though, he told me, "go hide in Legos", so I went over there, and Rhonda helped him count, and then he looked over and found me. I wonder when Grandpa was here, if he played hide and seek with John, and he remembered that?
