Traditional Post-Op Photo Shoot...

I really don't know who was cuter this morning..... so hence all the photos. Might have gotten a little carried away, and couldn't decide which ones are the best, so you guys vote on that.











As you can see, on this lovely rain washed squeaky clean morning, all is well in our little cabin. The lion is at peace because of the relieved pressure, big sis is up to her normal tricks, and we are, dare I say, a little bit happy even?

  1. Wow I have to say that the eyes in all the photos are beautiful, the pic with all 3 is beautiful and has to get my vote. So glad that Leo's pressure is relieved and more content and it shows the love and calmness = happy :-)

  2. I agree that the picture with Leo, Nika, and Anna is my favorite, but I also love the third from the last! What a sweet face Leo is making. I also love Leo's snuggly pants. :) Miss you guys! Michael has been identifying every Honda Element he sees as Papa, Nika, Anna, and baby Leo's car (except Leo is still pronounced yo-yo).

  7. All the pictures are awesome,my three favorite are of Nika, Leo's third from the bottom and Nika and Leo holding hands.There is something very touching and heartwarming,in the little trusting fingers curled around his big sisters strong and gentle hand.

  9. Great pictures. Leo's eyes seem so big now, and he seems to be using them to their full capacity. Thanks for sharing.

  10. Beautiful pictures, Anna-all of them! I love the one of the two siblings hand-in-hand. I also love to see Leo's eyes so bright and wide open. I can tell that the pressure must be much lower than when we met him, because he looks calmer and lighter. What a blessing. Love to you all.

The School Bus As Metaphor

A school bus can mean all sorts of different things: dread, boredom, excitement, responsibility, change...it means something different to all of us. I was primarily homeschooled as a kid, and though I preferred that, there was still an element of desire and curiosity for me every time I saw a school bus when I was young.  I couldn't help but wonder what it would have been like to be part of the school bus world. Of course I didn't have to wonder about it for very long because I did, in many ways, have the ideal education. There was that time I took the winter off from school instead of summer to practice my extra curricular work which was...downhill skiing and snowboarding. Then there was the part-time jobs at the local farms that I was able to do because of my own set and very flexible school hours. To clarify, because it sounds like I didn't do any academics at all in the above two sentences, I did. Lots. Tons. But I did them efficiently and completely independently, e

With Mixed Feelings

So for the past couple weeks my feed has been filled with the "back to school" and "end of summer" and "beginning of parental freedom from their annoying offspring" photos. It's ok, I totally get it. Another year, another back to school pic, another notch in the door jamb, and another chapter of growth and development with junior. Look at him go! Or not, as the case may be for many children. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease control and Prevention) one in six children has one...a developmental disability. A stamp of "not normal" across their foreheads. A number. A check mark in a box. My kid is one of them. I heard a brief segment on NPR that enticingly started out with the title of developmental delays on the rise, a 17% increase over the last twelve years. And though I turned up the volume the segment only talked about how it's probably only due to poverty, and it's only the upper classes that actually pursue diagnosis
