The last week has been full of emotional ups and downs. Maybe even the last month but definitely the last week. I’m finding it hard to let go–I guess it’s a sort of wanting to go inward while taking everyone with me. To be honest, it’s a return to feeling part of a community, which has been sorely missing in the past several years. It’s going to take time to remember that the beauty of community is having people who are there when you come back out without having to drag them into your navel whilst you gaze. And I do love me a good lintfest
ANYHOW.
I’m feeling a little like a belled cat because of all of this. It’s nice to not be sneaking around on the periphery all the time but it’s hard getting used to remembering to get out of my own head when I’m out and about. I think this is a good thing, though. I’ve spent a lot of years not being fully present and I think it’s kept me from feeling comfortable and happy.

Ok, if you got through all of that self-help crap, here’s your reward–the baby’s newest cuteness:
Every time he pees, he closes his eyes and yells out “HOAK!” (soak) as loud as he can. He also says “allo!” for hello and sings “bolo bolo bolo” when I play David Newman and likes to watch the Ankees pyay basheball on the tee with their hats and bats and guys.
As always, all pictures are on teh Facebook now, few that they are 🙂
