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

Hanna's special day!

Happy Adoption Day, Hanna!! Two years ago today, she became part of our family. A very special girl. We asked her what she wanted to do tonight, and she wanted to go to the park. So, we tossed the bikes in the back and went over to Bridge Park, then rode the bikes to Tree Park.

John, noticing the attention she got, wanted it to be his special day, too.

Before we left I didn't see John, so I asked Hanna where he went. She said, "Hmm, ok, I'll show you." And she marched me around to the back of the house, and John was back by the back windows. There's some nice soft fine dirt there, and he, the boy, was in it playing. Got himself rather dusty and dirty. Oh well, let him be a boy.

As I was brushing his teeth, John got some water to rinse, but for some reason decided he had to walk over to the tub and spit the water into the tub.

On Thursday I took the day off and had fun with the kids. Hanna had a dentists appt, so I took them there. Hanna did very well for the dentist and the hygienist.

I had a school day today. The last couple days here have been very very nice.

I have something at church in the morning. In the afternoon I might see if I can get the running boards on the truck.
