breathless

sitting there on the plane. late at night. jeff sleeping by the window. nate sleeping on the seat in between us. willow sleeping in my arms.

there he is again. my beautiful, quiet, missing boy. his face with little blond pigtails. sleeping so peacefully.

every time i see it, it leaves me breathless.

golden math

+ 2 – 1

we are testing the new golden math right now. jeff left for a business trip yesterday. our first our-of-town-overnight trip since willow was born. he comes back friday.

we will pass this test if jeff finds a sane wife and two living children at home waiting for him.

so far, so good. we kept pretty busy yesterday . . . school, lunch date, play date, swimming, early bedtime for both kids. today we have a playdate and possibly a trip to albuquerque this evening. tomorrow we have school again. then papa comes home.

actually, it is a bit more mellow here without papa. but don't tell him that because we love him and rely on him greatly and we don't know what we would do without him.
