In the midst of divorce, now, more than ever, my children look to me. "They look to me to see how merciful and generous I am in good times. They look to me to see how strong and faithful I am in bad times. They watch, they listen, and they model. Years from now I want my children to remember a childhood lived well, with a mother who was loving, consistent, devoted, funny, disciplined, playful, and totally present and emotionally available."(Kristin Armstrong)

Raising Intellectual Giants
Ernie's newest words are skid, smear, and menace. He is almost as thrilled as I, each time he identifies an occasion to showcase this growing and useful new vocabulary. Opportunities abound. Thanks to guess who??? KING SIMON or as Andy prefers "Stupid Faggot". This to me is very funny and (of course)uttered only for my benefit.
This week Bert has pegged King Simon as "Bah-mohn", a sweet alternative to the other monikers for our stinky little mutt.
