Looking forward. Aren't we all?

Great post that touches this mother's heart.

More details on the marker holders - with five kids at home, all in various stages of artistic endeavours, we could use something like that. I have resorted to big baggies full of different sizes of markers - but I like this idea better.

Would Mr. or Mrs. Rondeau Ric consider pointing us to a shopping source?

They actually put them away without prompting, amazing.

Both of your kids are cool but being a guy I relate to Liam more. As a 7 year old I found him to be very considerate, just the right amount of pain in the butt and he seems to have a sense of humour.
Bottle your parenting skill and sell it and you could retire in 6 months.

PS I’m still waiting for volume two of Letters from Eden.

Julie, excellent of you to aware of Liam's artistic tendencies early. The thing that caused me to be an artist is that my Dad was, and always set me up with plenty of good fresh paper, pencils, crayons, cra-pas pastels and markers. Never mined me making a mess and taught me how to clean up. You'll provide him a springboard to another world. Also, my book just came and I'm really excited to get home to it!

The winds hit us here on Saturday, bringing our Friday temps. of 72 down to 40. All the leaves that we had raked to the woods were blown back out again! So glad to read your blog -- we're all on the ride with you looking forward every day.

Weeping willows are one of my favorite trees. I don't have one now, but in 1988 we moved into a house in Bel Air, MD and our neighbor greeted us with a weeping willow offspring from one of the largest on his farmette. It was about 6' tall. When we left Bel Air 15 years later, it had grown at least ten times it's height and width. Chloe spent countless hours under that tree, waiting for that elusive squirrel to fall to her feet.

I tried my damnedest to keep that front over here in Cincinnati, Julie. But it had plans to come over and knock down your feeder. What can you do?

The willow is such a wonderful way to commemorate the arrival of sweet Liam?
Now why didn't I think of that when my girls were born?

I suppose you know that you are a wonderful mother. What fine children you are raising! Once you figure out what you're doing to encourage the kids, bottle it and sell it and make millions.

Oh, by the way, I sent you that weather from icy, snow-over Kansas City.

What a boy. I love hearing about your Liam. And a lovely willow. Have you thought of getting a weather station for Indigo Hill? I got one for our place about 6 years ago. It went on the blink last week and Tom and I are trying to figure out how to get it back. It is addictive. We get winds about once a year that are over 100mph. We are too curious not to know how much over.
