Do you have lava socks on? The floor is lava! Imagine that with me!
If you only have on computer socks then you need to get your feet off the floor right now!!
Next, showing me his flexed biceps:
Know how I grew my muscles? From hugging people!
Imagine a world where that actually worked, I think to myself.
Him, staring down at the end of a bowl of cereal, after being encouraged to finish up:
But all of the Rice Krispies keep chasing my spoon away! I need a better cereal catcher!
Random thoughts, out loud, all day long:
Forehead is like four. I could call mine a five head, or a six head!
What if I had four penises? Imagine that.
Which do you like more, a butterfly or a rabbit? What if they were both together?!
Let's look in your closet. Can I wear one of your flower shirts, so Siri can play music and I can spin?
Now, I am the pilot, you are the passenger. Where do you want to go?
My own imagination is powerful enough to invent thousands of scenarios where I fail, or my children suffer. I am looking for coffee as strong as his imagination, and hoping he continues to lean toward things like lava shoes, coming up with ways to make good things happen and embracing the whole world in the process.

Those pictures all say so much. Of course I love the one in front of the piano... except for the fact that the cowhide looks like a giant frog that's about to eat Hank! Does he have any giant frog socks???
Life happened. Is happening. But I remember Celia.
You might be shocked how many times I've thought about Celia.
I wonder if any little girl ever had more beautiful hair and eyes, ever. I think no one ever did.
Somehow years passed and in the roar I missed reading and then - by accident? - I ended up here
yesterday and oh - my goodness
that can't be that CAN'T be is that
Tucker? and Tolliver? they are so <>!
And who is this? Hank? Hank!
And you've kept this record for them. So many records have stopped so many places - but you are still record-keeping and it is so beautiful.
I know why people stop writing. For all the reasons I've had to stop reading, except in brief, distracted snatches. Unavoidable reasons, often - but
oh - finding you all here yesterday -
it felt like Heaven
so a woman you've never met is all choked up about your beautiful, growing, interesting, interested, lively, warm, exploring, trying, thinking, hoping, adventuring
BOYS - gorgeous boys!
and just as choked up
seeing all in and among and near them
the girl
who is so very missed in this world
Celia, I thought I couldn't miss you more
but I do
Wow - Jenni and Andy - this is what you call a <> well loved
God bless every one of you
Your story matters so much
I am glad you're still telling it
Cathy in Missouri
That's odd
The two missing words are
GROWN
and
FAMILY
No idea what I did to make that happen
sorry
CiM
CiM...
Thank you.
Poppy John, I remember you, too.
My heart leapt to "see" you here, as well.
I'm so glad this family has so much surrounding love.
CiM
