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

Last night the neighbor kids were out so we went over there and they all played around. Scott was blowing leaves out of his bushes, and the noise scared Hanna, so she wanted to be held while that was on. After awhile John went in the house but Hanna was still out playing with Maya. I held open a bag or two so Scott could put leaves in, and Hanna saw that and came over and helped. She grabbed little fistfuls of leaves and put them in the bag. She said "garbage!"

While John was at his early childhood eval, Hanna stayed at Kyle's house. They must have done some vacuuming, cuz when I asked her what she did she said "Vacuum. House.", she told me about it several times.

At the eval, I guess they thought John was behind in some verbal areas. Like, if you ask him something he'll still often repeat what you ask, and not answer the question, things like that, but in other areas he's doing real well, like with his alphabet and counting, etc... He was behind from the start, and probably just has some catching up to do yet.

The Timberpuppies stank last night. The Kings played like the grizzled veterans they are, and deserved to win.
