  6. Claire says:

    Simply precious! One can NEVER overdo baby photos… on the contrary, thanks so much for sharing your little one with us!

  7. Julie says:

    So glad you have them digitally. I am combing through a pile of pictures of my oldest for his “send-off to college” party on Sunday. We are making one of those tear-jerking montages that show him from babyhood to manhood… only the problem is, the digital photos wwe have only date back three years. Three! That means scanning the other sixteen years of his life… and I tell you, it’s a pain!

    Not to mention that I am ruining those Creative Memory photo albums to harvest the right photos.

    The future is digital! Amen.

    Oh and your baby is adorable! Keep those photos coming.

  19. Dawn says:

  20. Helene says:

    You couldn’t possibly overdo baby pictures. I am currently enjoying the babyhood of my eighth child and I am STILL taking WAY too many pictures of him…as I did with all the others. You will never regret it. Besides…look at all the comments this post got! I assure you, no one is bored. More! More!

How We Learn

“Exploration,” says John Stilgoe, author of Outside Lies Magic, “is a liberal art, because it is an art that liberates, that frees, that opens away from narrowness. And it is fun.”

Yes: it is so, so much fun, and that is why I write these posts all chattery with excitement over this or that connection the kids made today. (Or that I made myself!) I know I get carried away, but that’s the point, isn’t it, that way leading on to way has carried me away?

And yet—and yet—I think we are at once ‘carried away’ and made more fully present in the now, more rooted, by these relationships between ideas about things past and future. The joy of connection makes me want to celebrate this moment, this brief encounter with wild-haired child and broad-trunked tree, bus going by, sign on church wall, Scottish warlord creeping over the tower wall and startling the English soldier’s wife who has just put her babe in arms to sleep by crooning that the Black Douglas won’t get him. Child, laughing, shouting “Dinna ye be sae sure aboot that!” across the courtyard outside the library. How can I not celebrate this freedom?

    A Word about How I Blog

    Every day is complicated, messy, and full of friction. And every day has glorious or cozy moments worth celebrating. I seldom bother to chronicle the friction and the mess because writing time is fleeting and precious—and childhood even more so. I’d rather capture the small joys that I might forget—or take for granted—if I don’t take time to set them down in words.

    (Excerpt from this post about Real Life, quoted here because I don't want anyone to be under the impression that things are always perfect around here! Heaven knows we are anything but. Perfect, frictionless, orderly? Nope. Happy? Most of the time!)




    Be Like the Bird

    Be like the bird
    Who, pausing in flight
    On limb too slight,
    Feels it give way beneath her,
    Yet sings,
    Knowing she has wings.

    —Victor Hugo
