things ....
of course leonard cohen's hallelujah is being covered at this moment ... the moments ... .

love on my late nite's of work that atreyu sits at the edge of the driveway in the dark & snow waiting for my safe arrival. his little but wiggles so fast ... he must be excited to get out of the cold ...

enjoying the music of this hope for haiti ... and trying not to cry during the speaking parts ... yes, if it was easy ... i would go get a little person over there & bring him here for josie in a heartbeat.

my paperwhites opened this week as my tulips started falling. not really sure if i like the smell of paperwhites ... i don't think they are subtle enough for my taste. was very nice having tulips in the winter ...

josie painting almost everyday ... she is very particular when doing this ... fresh brushes, going through each color one by one to see what it gives her .... definitely like her mother with this ... she is making me itch to pick up a brush ... which i haven't done since before she was born.

got the opportunity to dress up this week ... for a special dinner put on by my work ... actually felt nice to pay attention to trying to look nice ... had some funny times with the ladies i work with ... i am lucky to work with such special people. yet, another reason for being lucky ...

last time josie saw stevie wonder it was new year's eve at 11:30 at nite ... and she kept saying - 'look it's papa' ... so so funny. tonite she saw stevie ... and kept repeating his name & almost started crying when he stopped singing ... she wanted more ... so did i.

walked out onto a gorgeous nitefall on thursday evening ... 6 pm ... bottom of sky light blue gradually getting darker blue the higher you go ... and the brightest crescent moon ... which reminds me that tonite when josie pointed out the moon, like she always does ... she got the explanation of how '2 people in completely differnt places on earth are looking at the same moon - cuz there is only one' ... i think she actually took that in ... that has always been a comforting thing to think about for me ...

could write all nite ... so i am stopping now ... here are a few pix of josie ...
