And just like that the HAHAs are off on the next leg of their trip.
Ayla and I got to know each other this week...and I am hoping we stay in touch.
And there's nothing quite like kid art on the refrigerator art to bring a smile to my face.
Ayla's drew the pig...and Aras the bluejay....and they gave them to me when they arrived.
Ayla was singing in the shower this morning....and she is a good role model for living a life she is excited about. She oozes joy....almost all the time.
Love the pig 😁 but that blue jay took real talent! Must run in the family 😊.
ReplyDeleteThere is enough creativity and talent to go around!
Deletehip hip hooray for the HAHAs!!! Thank you for lifting us all more fully into connection, joy, and presence this week.

To honor that transition from full house back to usual routines, these words from Leah Hager Cohen's novel, Heat Lightning:
The silence of the house
became gigantic,
the way a tiny cut
can feel huge
inside your mouth.
It was a wild and wonderful week....and Paul and the quiet in the house feels almost foreign....in a gigantic way. Love the quote.
DeleteI have just a few days before my friend Becky comes....but that will be whole different vibe.
It sounds like you had a joyful and busy visit, but it is always nice to have your home back to yourself, MaryAnn. Ayla and Aras will have some wonderful memories to carry with them, as I'm sure you will as well. It is always so good to spend time with family! Judy
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more Judy! Loved having them here...and I love the sweet smell of routine.
