- Yesterday (I forgot to mention this yesterday, don't want to forget) Luke out of the blue starting to talk about floating little boats (aka sticks and leaves) down the river for Uncle Luke to receive up in Heaven...like once they were out of sight Uncle Luke would get them...he's (my Luke) so sweet...I know it's an unconventional connection/relationship, but I love that Uncle Luke is part of my kids' lives...someone they think and talk about...someone they want to do nice things for...
- Zo today with a journal Grammy and Papa sent her playing hotel. She sat down with a pencil and opened to a page and started asking me questions and writing down the answers like she was checking me in. "Name?" she asked. "Phone number?" "Nail polish color you're wearing?" "Who's your favorite princess?" Etc. You know, the standard check-in questions, lol... Too cute...
- My husband watching after the kids so the dog and I could go for a walk...a lot of it was in the dark, the days are getting shorter quickly...it was lovely but I think I'm going to have to start walking more in the mornings...
- A good night's sleep last night...the best I've had in a while...
- About to join my husband on the porch...we've got Jupiter and Mars and Saturn and Scorpio in our view (our deck faces SW) at the moment...it's pretty cool...
XOXO

- Water and some kitchen utensils on the deck...nothing's more fun...
- I am loving the friends I'm making here in Steamboat...
- My husband volunteering to go to the grocery store on his way home from work whenever I need it...this is nothing new, but so grateful for the help, always...
- A walk after the kids went down this evening, me and Newton the boxer...last month when I was doing walks at 8:30 or so it was light the whole way...today I was making it home in the dark...I love how things like the lengths of the days change so gradually and yet also so dramatically...
- Beautiful "art letters" from my mom—one for each of the kids and one for me as well. What a delight these pieces of snail mail are...thank you Mom!!
XOXO
