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

Another pleasant weekend here, though we might get some rain today. Saturday was beautiful. We took the kids to bumpy slide park, after they talked to Grandma for a bit. John just chattered away. After their nap, we went to the lake. The water was just perfect. John played with the water toy, so I had Hanna. We sat in the water and played with the sand and our sand toys. Later John loved playing with the rinse spigot. Then they played on the playground equipment for a bit.

Went to church this morning. Another week of the August praise festival. This week was a young man with a great singing voice.

The kids are sleeping, though it took John awhile to get to sleep. He's had some fits this weekend. Don't know what is bothering him. When it's time to stop playing with something, or something like that, he's just cried and cried.

This morning Rhonda was singing the ABC song with Hanna, and Rhonda said "W, X, Y and..." and Hanna said 'zzzzzz'. Then we could tell she was singing the "now I know my ABCs" part! She's saying more words, if not terribly clearly yet. She'll point at pictures around the house and say "John"!
