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

Happy Birthday to Kristin yesterday! Sounds like she was able to get out of the house for a spell!

Sometime in the middle of the night, I thought I heard saying John "outside..outside". (that's what he says when he wants to go outside and play, and he said it in that tone of voice) Strange. Don't know if he was talking in his sleep, or if something woke him up and he was just saying whatever came to his mind first? He didn't say anymore and went back to sleep.

Last night we went around and said goodnight to the bedroom and the bathroom, something we haven't done in awhile. He said good night to just about everything. In our bedroom, he said "good-night spinning (ceiling fan), good-night rewinder", etc... in the bathroom, he said "good-night potty chair, good-night poops" etc... Like I said, he said good-night to everything!

We were outside last night, and had a ball out, and John was kicking it (he seems to prefer his left leg for kicking). It was about the size of a kickball, so a little big, and once John swung at it and missed and ended up stepping on the ball, and lost his balance and fell backward, and kind of conked his head on the driveway. Ouch ouch. He cried for a bit, but thankfully he didn't hit it as hard as he might have.

Sometimes when Hanna is in her high chair, there's times when she tosses food or her cup off the chair. (Something Ellie has figured out). So, sometimes I'll just give her hand a swat and say "no". Now, in the last couple days, she might toss something, and I'll look at her sternly, and she'll take one hand and kind of tap it on the back of her other hand. ha! She knows she did something wrong, and would get her hand swatted!

The Wild won last night! So, they play Game 7 tonight in Vancouver. That team is the story around town these days. No NHL team has ever come back from 3-1 deficits twice in the same playoff year, and they could do that tonight. (They were down 3-1 to Colorado, and came back to win.)
