Amidst it all, I'm thankful for the quotidian.
Oliver works on his boat for the raingutter regatta with the Cub Scouts. Unlike some of the other scouts (ahem), he does it all himself, and it shows.
Henry writes his Christmas list. He looked up and said You know, I don't believe in Santa Claus.
Sophie, enduring
Biscuits for dinner with tomato soup
Leftover Halloween filling the turkey basket

I was looking at this post after dinner tonight and Oscar appeared at my shoulder just as I scrolled down to the picture of Sophie. He didn't see "Sophie, enduring" just her face and was mesmerized. "Who's that?" he wanted to know, a smile on his lips. "The daughter of a friend of mine". "Oh, do I know her?" smile growing bigger. "No, why, do you think she's pretty?" He turned red then, and got really embarrassed and started trying to hide the smile. "Yeah, so!?? Don't tell DAD!!" And then he chased me through the house in fits of giggles to make sure I wasn't sneaking off to tell "Dad".
ReplyDeleteThey're all beautiful Elizabeth! And you, and your table and your words!
Mary -- THAT just warms my heart.
ReplyDeleteoh to be in that circle of love in your home , waiting on the soup.

i had to look up "quotidian." i love what henry said. i agree with mary's son...
ReplyDeleteJacob just informed me that he doesn't believe in Santa. "Because he's not real. You are Santa. Right?" LOL
ReplyDeleteLove the glimpse into your life. Sophie, Enduring ... beautiful!
The table is beautiful! Sophie and the gang even more so!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid that in the past, we've been the "ahem" family, but this year, Jude did some of the sanding, much of the glueing and most of the painting. Missed you at the Regatta.
ReplyDeleteHenry is ALREADY writing his Christmas list? That boy is prepared! Jude writes his about 4 days before Christmas, then I freak out trying to get all the surprises he pulls!
Sophie always just takes my breath away.
