buzz past your lips
silk in my ears
bites in my heart
soft, tiny
liquid glass
little words
from your lips.
Month: February 2010
this moment
imagine
a tea party with a unicorn named “Gold”
a beach in the middle of winter
and falling asleep between the heating vent and the toilet,
all by yourself
on the hard tile floor,
wearing but one woolen sock.
Happy Thursday!
seeking
light
but not sure
where it comes from
through mist that never clears,
I use my hands
to blindly fumble through stacks
upon stacks
hoping
that the one I seek
grabs me first.
a headband
This is our first project with our newly acquired sewing machine. Mia wore this headband all over town today. It got lots of compliments, but to her disappointment, everyone mistook her headband for a crown.
eleven months
I have trouble believing it’s almost been a year since this little bundle of love came into the world, right here in our living room.
She loves to clap, crawl, laugh at big sis, make us laugh, throw things into the bathtub (like ALL things she can get her hands on), bite, hit, dig through the kitchen cabinets, nurse, pee on the potty, cuddle, push things and walk behind them, and talk in baby gibberish.
Happy eleven months, my sweet little Anna.
two-surprise tuesday
Our second Two-Surprise Tuesday was a big hit with Mia. This was a rare special treat; I went “all out” with this one. The day was both exhausting and wonderful.
first surprise: a morning sewing lesson with auntie Daja and a “new” sewing machine that’s all her own!
second surprise: TWO trips on her favorite carousel!
and a little bonus surprise to finish off the day.
valentine’s day
A special Valentine’s dinner at my mom’s and dad’s house,
which is extra beautiful and cozy on a cold winter’s eve.
Happy belated Valentine’s Day!
grandpa’s handiwork
in bad times
on the stairs
guarded
by the climbed-over, pushed-on
baby gate
my lonely camera sits
collecting dust
slowly bleeding
its battery
waiting
for a better day.
