Comments & Old McDonald.

Tags:

The disaster in the South is simply unfathomable to me. I tried to come up with something to say, some words, but nothing. I have been following along on my friend Brad's blog (Carrie Colbert's fiance). He has a history with that area, family, friends, memories.


My heart goes out to all who have lost so, so much.

And then, here at home, we sing.


We sing Old McDonald Had A Farm. We sing about cows, chickens, pigs, ducks, turtles, giraffes. You didn't know that giraffes lived on farms? Well, in our house they do.


Simon goes back to school today. He had a month off. He spent a week of that month with my parents. It is hard to work when he is here. Hard to understand that mama needs to work. Hard for mama to explain.


Today he's back in the school that we love, that he will leave when we finally move. We had anticipated that we would have moved by now, but there was always a possibility that we would still be here. And here we are...and where we are going next is still up in the air. Simon is signed up to start at an Early Education Program in mid-September, a couple hours a day of a preschool with a more in-dept focus on language. We live about 20 minutes away from there at this time. Chris is being a huge help, taking the lead in getting Simon to speech and school.


And Simon, man, he is so cute. And getting older. His language is developing. At what we call, "Simon-pace." Gotta love the sparkle in his eyes. This morning we were playing with blocks that create a train. He was labeling the colors, "blue block," "red block," etc. And then he said something else. Often I can figure out what he is saying by making a connection with the context. But I had no idea what he was saying this time...he was looking right at me...wanting me to understand...that is when it is tough. He just looks back down and keeps on building.


Feeling thankful and so very blessed for the safety and security of our family. Even if a million and one things are up in the air, we are blessed with being together.
