one day she had a cold and so she needed extra tissues

we have our deep and quiet days.

 some days are not so deep.

we are happier more than we are not happy.

And now she is five. While my heart does ache for the passing of time and the way the days pass, I am grateful because I am here with her, laughing and breathing.
my heart beats and i am glad.

there is no love like this love.

Jesse has been making Origami seals, kangaroos

butterflies

it is all so amazing

The stream runs by the back field and so we wander there.
sometimes we imagine we will find gold but mostly we find moss, salamanders and ferns.
And this is treasure enough.

I am breathing, mostly.  It have been on a strict diet for 5 months now and have been excluding dairy, wheat, soy, some nuts, chocolate, coffee, tea, for almost three months and I am a new person. I had no idea that dairy especially, was having such a large impact on my health/energy/mood/asthma.

So now I eat a lot of beans but I am happy.
See how happy I am?

This is all true, every bit.
