I'm writing tonight on Ruth's amazing fast computer. I came over after lunch(wonderful birthday lunch at Ruth's favorite Hula Hut) and helped her dig a bunch of dead buches out of the front flowerbed - hard to do with babe in arms. She needed extra hands. Chris was very busy pouring concrete to improve their front walk. We got all the sticks and roots out - Go us! Liam is more darling every time I see him - looking around at his world with increasing interest. Six weeks old - a real baby, not a neonate. I was in this hhouse as they set up to have a baby live here, item by item and now it's such a treat to see little Liam using the swing, the boppy pillow - all the things chosen for him with so much love.
