The Dailies, #3

Well, my Darling, it's late, and I'm tired. And I haven't heard from you yet this evening, so my guess is that, if/when you read this, you too will be tired. So I'll keep this brief.

-Beautiful weather today; we got out a couple of times, just to Mom and Dad's back yard, as you'll see in pictures.
-I got some writing done!! One scene: Jesus and the Samaritan woman, at the well. Hooray.
-Meg misses you very much and keeps hoping aloud that today will be the day that we'll "see Daddy." We're half-way there, as of tonight! Three days to go...
-Matthew's begun eating Cheerios, dry of course, and one at a time. He doesn't quite have the pincher grasp to be able to get them himself, but he likes it when Mama feeds them to him.
-Matthew tried "climbing" down the one step into the dining room here at Mom's--head first. Fortunately, he let himself down fairly gently and landed on a cushy eye-glasses case (the vinyl kind). Not so much as a bump on his head--but plenty of wailing to make up for it!
-Watched the recent PBS version of Sense and Sensibility with Cub tonight; this explains the lateness of the hour. I'm grateful we've been able to be here with him.
-Meggy's primed for church tomorrow, as usual--I just pray that she won't freak out when Aunt Lena's not waiting for her in class tomorrow...

Funny boy, stuck at the step... he won't even try to come up, though he attempted the down today. In the foreground you can see the glasses case that broke his fall later.

The babies hangin' with Cub on the patio.

Matthew did not want to be set down in the grass today and spent some time suspending himself above it, thus:

Oh, you poor, fragile, little thing, you.

Meg's teddy of choice for the day, seated on the fence facing the yellow slide so he could "watch me go down slide."

Our daughter, the miniature movie star.

Too cute.
