Our Busy Days, September 18, 2007


I know, it's been a while that I haven't had time to sit and write, however I have had many subjects to write about.

There was a beautiful family party at Jay and Jeanne's place ( surprising ? ) which I could meet Michael's brother Phil and his family for the first time. They live in Florida and don't come up very often. They were very warm and nice family and we enjoyed having them with us in the family party.

Michael had done something wrong which been insulting to his brother Jay. He was enough patient to not mention it for some days and then he sent Michael and email and told how he had felt. Michael was very sad, feeling bad about how he had hurt his dear brother. I know that Michael never wanted to hurt him but if Jay had been hurt by him, it was good to know, so Michael would know and would be more careful. I did like how Jay explained how he had felt. This way he didn't have to bury a bad feeling in his heart. I thought that's something that I should learn. It is not very usual in my family to explain our feelings easily, and I think it can hurt our relationship after awhile.

Michael and the boys had some pictures taken in Sears for Michael's birthday and I really liked some of them.

Today in Salem Common, River was trying to clean up the park. It was really cute seeing him going around , picking little piece of trash and little apples which were fallen from the trees and put in trash cans in the park. I thought if everyone felt responsible as much as him, the world be much cleaner than what it is.

Tonight the boys were playing with their drum sticks and one of them hurt the other one. It is really sad to see when they hurt each other because I know they really love each other. I asked them to kiss each other and then they did go to kiss each other Seeing them, kissing each other was one of the most beautiful moments of my motherhood.

  1. Have you heard any more news about their medical condition, especially River's? How about our book, do you know it is on lulu.com now? Seven copies have been sold, besides the two I have bought, so if you haven't bought any, we are getting famous!

    Getting Chase to kiss us is like asking him to drink vinegar. Today he was here and when they left he would not kiss Fay nor me. His daddy asked him if he would wave goodbye, which was all he would do, and then he said good bye, I love you. He is too grown up for being just under three years old.

    Do you think that when the boys are ten you will be able to say for certain which boy is River in this picture? I say he is on the left, but they look very much alike in this picture. The photographer must have been making them laugh at something he was doing.

    I am going to make a book with Chase and Tyler and Chase's dog in it, with my model railroad as the background. I think I will be able to make the pictures of the model railroad that I will want, anyway. Maybe that won't work out, but that is my plan for now.
