DISQUS

Well, dear morning gruel, you may take pleasure in knowing that rick misspelled our baby's name on the official birth announcement.

Always, always, let us proofread. And yes, we are right. :)
especially when we're pregnant or postpartum.

amazing how hard that pure play can be - the split focus thing can be so seductive.

I like this, Carrie. A pivot from danger to opportunity... Brings to mind our basically nonfunctional septic system - problem? yes. about to make us go really really broke? absolutely. But Also a beautiful opportunity to create a nontraditional system that is more respectful of our land and the earth's resources. We'll see - the nontraditional septic guy is coming over this afternoon to do an assessment.... Doing our best to see this as a wide open "field" of possibilities!

that 's it! there is so much we miss. this moment doesn't have to be beautiful, easy, or even good, it might be incredibly messy. when we are In it, it means to me that i am able to give what the moment asks for from a place of love, rather than being lost in a story in my head about where i wish i could be, or what i wish this moment looked like instead.

Sitting at dinner with some new friends lastnight, feeling that nascent sense of what it means to let people into our whole life, wanting to allow them in. It's a beautiful thing.

Having just lived in a tent for the past 6 odd weeks with my husband and two young children I can relate in ways I wish i couldn't....! Friends have commented that if their dear partners had proposed such a feat it might have meant the end of their relationship.

my lovely husband's enthusiasm for the idea certainly helped me summon up whatever enthusiasm i could muster, until he had to go out of town for the final two weeks, leaving me and the boys on our own... my enthusiasm left town too.

We move into our new home on Monday morning!

I miss my sweet baby too...there is indeed something about slowing down that allows me to be more connected to our loss. Blessings to your family.
