be sure to click twice to see dad over the fence and dog Sasha peeking through the hole he, being a Jack Russell Terrier, immediately found upon arrival….in the dark.
and she who was formerly Heather, he formerly Jon, have now totally and excellently and tenderly become mom and dad. How amazing for me to behold. Note her socks. polkadot MaryJanes over pink. her dad's favorites.
There is only one phrase that comes to my mind upon seeing these wonderful photos: La Familia. I am sitting here with such a smile on my face and even a few happy tears because it just does not get any more real, or happy, or special, or loving or important than this…this is life, this is on-going, this is just going, this simply is precious*

i tried, Marti, to get some pics of us in the part of
this world where Celia lives but everytime i took her
in there, their dog Sasha was beside himself. here, in
the Way Back, he can only peek through that little head
size hole. in the other part, it’s just that livestock
fencing and he just couldn’t stand it so we gave up.
and yes. it IS just Going. how humanity continues to
just Go.

the Goats aren’t used to so many people. they were
surprised. and also very intent on being sure that
dog couldn’t get through the hole. much to his disappointment. he really has a ZEST for life. just
anything at all. it’s good to him.

in that pic by the big stump, i was whispering to her…
Giana Lily Alluvial Fan….this
this can be your inheritance. all of it, Yours. Breathe
it In.
whispering so her mom couldn’t hear. She was raised on
a farm in Nebraska and it would be the LAST thing she
might imagine for her daughter. smile .

tender mercies to awaken to this. Giana. mom, dad and You. she is beauty full. and the picture by the goat hewn stump, your eyes closed–Giana smiling as though she is so well-pleased to be just where she is, in your arms–listening with interest. and the other images–your hands holding her. they look so strong and she looks as though she has known you right from the beginning. and yes, the gratitude you must feel, that she decided to make this journey around the sun, again, with you all. the miracle of that. and her critter family as well. how rich. how very full of love. ohhhhhh Grace.
