The fossil and rock in the Buddha's hands were given to us by our friends at Family Hour at the Dharma Center - we have been attending regularly, 2x/month.
There will be new photos in the weekly albums to the right.
The babies are still sick although fevers seem to be gone. Coughs and snot remain. Sleep deprivation is severe.
The big boys are enjoying the snow, which is quite beautifully falling all morning. We're planning some sledding by the weekend if possible.
I'm reading An Abundance of Katherines, which is so far excellent. The characters are very smart teenage boys - one a prodigy and one a Muslim boy who was homeschooled until his current grade, 1o. He is at once dedicated to his religion but also irreverent about many things and very typically 15ish in his boy humor and attitude. The story isn't doing much, which usually annoys me right away, but is fine this time - the characters are so engaging.
Whenever you recommend a book, I pay attention. One of my most favorite books is Into the Forest, which I learned of through your blog.
