and what cat
could resist
the sharing
of
fingertips
full of
sweet and magical dots
called
astronaut ice cream?

big doors swing on little hinges. – w. clement stone
mama hangs on tight
as she
takes her
baby chicks
off to
master
their moves
their kicks
their spins
their control
as they
jump and skip
through the city
over and under
everything
in their way
and
they can’t wait
to
unleash their power
so much energy
harnessed here

h3-oh!
having
named
all of
my
3 daughters
all close in age
with
names
that
all begin
with the letter
h
has caused
me to
rarely
if ever
call them
by their
proper name
at least
on
the first
or
the second
try
and
they’ve
all learned
over time
to just
answer
to
any of them
and
when they
all sign their cards
to me
love
your favorite daughter, h
i know i’ve done it right

one thing they never tell you about child raising is that for the rest of your life, at the drop of a hat, you are expected to know your child’s name and how old he or she is.

the great man is he who does not lose his child’s-heart. ~mencius

you don’t need a silver fork to eat good food. – paul prudhomme
eating dinner out with baby j
is always
a culinary adventure
of
the highest order
part of the meal
is often spent
below the table
and then
the appearance
of a tiny, pudgy hand
reminds me
of why
we are here
sharing
our food
and
our space.

a sister is both your mirror – and your opposite. – e. fishel
beth and pam
sisters
room mates
best friends
suddenly
one
was gone
way too early
and
one
was left behind
way too early
and
still
missing the other
on her birthday

in french you don’t really say, “i miss you.”
you say, “tu me manques,” which is closer to
“you are missing from me.”
i love that.
“you are missing from me.”
you are a part of me.
yes, that is it.
