... What if you fly?

From a poem by Erin Hanson,
 Reverie (The Poetic Underground #1) 

“There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask "What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?”  

Gomez! Tisha!

Gomez: [Morticia wakes up] Unhappy, darling?
Morticia: Oh, yes. Yes completely.
[Gomez sits]
Morticia: Gomez... Sun. Il me perce comme un poignard.
Gomez: Oh, Tish. That's French.
Morticia: Oui.
Gomez: Cara mia.
[kisses Morticia's hand]
Gomez: En garde, Monsieur Soleil!
Morticia: Gomez...
Gomez: Querida?
Morticia: Last night, you were unhinged. You were like some desperate howling demon. You frightened me. Do it again.

Amazing Shay

Amazing... maybe, flabbergasted?
I'm running out of superlatives... of wow-type words!

There are so many wonderful pictures, that I don't know which ones to choose to show here...

One of my favorite foods...

Pizza! 

Can you believe how small and perfect this is?

Ohhhh... pancakes!

These I've shown are jewelry, but Shay Aaron also makes ones that are "just plain" miniature food, if this term can be used for anything so perfect.

(Uh... more pizza!)

Do go to his Flikr, Shay Aaron, to see more of his fantastic work.
He also has an etsy site, Shay Aaron Miniatures, for those who wish to indulge.

In the Arts

Very proud Grammie just has to show: Grandson premiering in the Arts — participating as a "colaborator" in a Yayoi Kusama exhibition!

The work is a revisit of her 2002 project, the obliteration room; now in Brasília.

Word Discovery Adventure

Last Saturday we went to Belle-Fille-to-Be's father’s farm, where Grandson Walking Man went on a World Discovery Adventure all by shishelf!

There was Crossing The Abyss!!! many thousand a few meters from us

Playing with The Water Faucet

Also saw and fed flowers to A Big Dog

Touched, and held the “hand”, of A Turtle!

Quite a bit of Antibody Acquisition – playing with Lots of Dried Leaves with Uncle Pediatrician

And Many More Adventures!

Walking Man

Today Grandson came over for a visit.

First day as Independent Walking Man!

With his Mamãe and Papi walked in all by shishelf...
... rather unsteadly, true, but with no handholding or other support!

He has been in training for a little while now but still insecure and at the finger-clutching stage when wanting to get around on those jus-wanna-bite-em, short&chubby little legs — when in first gear, the one hand/one finger clutch; to rev up into fifth, the two hands/two fingers clutch.

But now... FREEDOM!

I didn't have this with my kids: the sadness to see the Herr Baby phase ending...
I guess the older we get, the appreciation of Time's changes, the realization of the preciousness of each moment, is deeper and stronger.
