Elise receives a personal invitation to join us next Wednesday, if she doesn’t choose to put in an appearance sooner that is. My mother arrives today. And October seems to have arrived gently here in the valley. Aside from nausea that comes in sudden waves, all is well and we are ready.
My projects are not all likely to be completed in time for the baby’s arrival but I’ve found some peace with that. I’m content to purge and organize for now. I do hope recovery is quick and that I can be physically ready to parent 2 wee ones - I so want to enjoy this fabulous month of weather and festivals.
Adele has been remarkably wonderful of late. She is sweet and easy going and so much fun. She has extended her reality into realms we’ve not intentionally developed and she entertains us to no end with her stories and songs from “school” and in her many and varied “conversations” with relatives, both existing and invented. Hers is such a beautiful and amazing spirit. She is smart, thoughtful, sensitive and sweet.
I am so excited about becoming a family of 4 (or 8 - depending on who you’re including). I feel a tremendous peace about each of our roles as this family grows. I can say without reservation that there is no more perfect place for me to be than where I am right now.
adele,
family,
