Hooray!

Hooray! Steitler lost his first tooth today!

Maddie celebrated with him, which was very hard for her since she has not lost any teeth yet. We were very proud of her!
I did not run out the front door, throw up, or pass out, so I was proud of myself. :)

Bedtime



Snow Day...again

Oh! the snow, the beautiful snow, Filling the sky and earth below,
Over the housetops, over the street, Over the heads of the people you meet.
Dancing, Flirting, Skimming along. - JW Watson

School Days

This Morning

Maddie was nervous because she did not know the class schedule, among other things. Steitler was anxious about eating lunch in the cafeteria, among other things. I was on edge knowing that I would have to leave the school building at some point, among other things.

There is a something-terrible feeling in my heart knowing I am rather directly responsible for the changes that put my children into distress. My heart also beats a tall- courageous thump thinking of children that adapt and cope. But today the something-terrible beats seem heavier and louder than the tall-courage beats.



Well, I dreamt I saw you walking

up a hillside in the snow

casting shadows on the winter sky

as you stood there counting crows



I will walk along these hillsides in the summer 'neath the sunshine I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me

Change, change, change, change
