Happy Thanksgiving

I am grateful that Ronin is growing little tiny bunny teeth and starting solids.

I am grateful that he's so happy and healthy and beautiful.

I am, in fact, filled with gratitude these days. I spent all day yesterday trying to be extra-aware of all there is to be grateful for. We live in such abundance! It feels very nice to be a little family of three people and two cats, and for that, I'm most grateful.

Little grabby crawly hands

In case you wonder, hey Caroline, why no posts again for a few weeks?

Check out these pictures. There's a set of lightening-fast, wet, drooly, crawling-around-grabby hands that are constantly, constantly on the move in this house.

It's my job to watch over them and make sure they don't get us into too much trouble.

I never knew infants were so tactile!

These hands bang tables and floors, they grab things and shove them in Ronin's mouth, and they really love to chuck things on the ground.

They are proudly featured here. 

Welcome, John Fred Wood IV!

Yesterday my sister had this gorgeous baby, and he is the fourth in a line of wickedly smart men.

Welcome, little John! It'll be so fun to see you and Ronin grow up together: little cousin-brothers, running around, hitting things, and yawping at the top of your lungs.
