Christmas 2009





Santa's little helpers...

...travelled Clifton on a cold grey day to bring some cheer to our neighbors. This must be one of my favorite things to do with little ones to help them realize the importance of community and sharing.

Wilson is Four!


Oh, my little one who is so quickly becoming independent and thoughtful and adventurous and risk-taking! Four, oh, four! I remember when you were inside me and now you can climb up walls. Now you tell me that the chocolate smell is "disturbing you" and that you want to be an astronaut vet and live in Africa when you grow up. Some moments you challenge me, but I love that your wit, and will, and energy are so strong. This Christmas season with you has been the best yet, hanging up lights with you, getting to stay up a bit later and talk over drawing and hot chocolate at the kitchen table, and seeing in your eyes the wonder of sustaining rituals. You make me smile so much. I love you, bird!

Hiking in the leaves

We often take a Monday morning hike in Cherokee park with some of our friends. Here is one particularly gorgeous October morning...



Playing with leaves: part one

So I am finally going backwards and documenting our busy fall. I remember years ago seeing a book of sculpture out of living things. Wilson and I gave it a try back in October...
