I met my nephew today for the first time. He is five weeks old. (How can that be a sentence? A human who is five weeks old? It boggles the mind.)
"Holy Never, have mercy on us."
It's comforting to be tired with the parents of a newborn, because you know you are not alone and yet they still have it so much worse than you.
I'm making a crafty little photocopied book of Australian stuff, of some of the things I wrote there as well as some other bits and pieces. Let ya know when it's finished.
That's kinda cool. I can almost imagine...
ReplyDeleteShaun Elyse - Which?
ReplyDeleteA five week old human... a human that wasn't and is... and is even related to you. It's just... funny to think about. ^__^

Erin - I don't know why I didn't send the link to you when you mentioned you liked that quote in my "about." But yes, I love it a lot, all of her "notebooks" (there's more of hers on that same site) and I'm glad you do too. And thank you for your encouragement earlier this fall re: writing project. <3
I have not been reading your blog lately. You have a nephew now!? That IS amazing. And I have that exact same nativity set. Who knew?
ReplyDeleteCamilla - I do, and even more amazingly, he's turned out to be a ginger! Huzzah!!!
