Basketball Highlights

This winter we've spent a lot of time at games.  Here are a few highlights from Kyle's games.

Halcyon Days

I've been reading Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman and came across this section.  I remember it from school and still love the scene it paints!


HALCYON DAYS

Not from successful love alone,
Nor wealth, nor honor'd middle age, nor victories of politics or war;
But as life wanes, and all the turbulent passions calm,
As gorgeous, vapory, silent hues cover the evening sky,
As softness, fulness, rest, suffuse the frame, like freshier, balmier air,
As the days take on a mellower light, and the apple at last hangs
really finish'd and indolent-ripe on the tree,
Then for the teeming quietest, happiest days of all!
The brooding and blissful halcyon days!

Wordless Wednesday - Homework

8 Years Old All Ready

Excuse me, having a mommy moment - when the heck did my son get to be eight?!  Am I old enough to have an 8-year-old?  I think not.  But somehow it happened.  Here he is in his new sweater that I knit of course.  He picked out the pattern Jesse's Flames from Stitch 'N Bitch Nation which required me to size it down for him since it was written for men (and though he may think he's fully a man at 8, he's not quite there yet).  And of course he wanted it to be a hoodie.  It came out better than I had imagined.  Even though it's a little big, he love it and hopefully he'll wear it for years!
