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

Yesterday Hanna was sitting on my lap after I got home from work, and she starting singing "Farmer in the Dell". She'd sing "farmer..dell, eye-oh,derry-oh, farmer dell", then "farmer..wife, farmer, wife," etc... then, she made up a new verse I hadn't heard before.. "farmer chocolate milk, the farmer chocolate milk, eye-oh-derry-oh, farmer chocolate milk" ha.

She's been saying her own prayers lately. John has been too, he'll say thank you for the day, for this food, etc... Hanna puts her own twist on it though. She says thank you for just about every word she knows... she'll say "thank you Hanna, John, Mommy, Daddy, mm, mm, sprinklers, Old Donalds, mm, mmm vitamins", etc... ha, it's cute.

We've let John watch Cinderalla lately, and he's really taken to it. The one scene that really sticks with him is the one where the clock strikes midnight and Cinderella runs off. He acts that out all the time. He'll have me bong like a clock, then he'll say "bye, daddy, I have to go" and he'll run off.
