Seamus’ Birth
Late in 2023 Noon finally caved. I had been asking her for years for another baby and something, possibly the neighbor having a baby, clicked for her and she was ready. She got pregnant in November and had a pretty miserable pregnancy. Everyone was getting sick in the family over and over (I think Sean…

Sean’s Fish Bone
Sean is going to an ear nose and throat doctor next month, he’s a loud snorer and talke like he has a cold. “Thag you very bunch.” Also his L’s sound a little like W’s. So “Lemonade” sounds like “Wamadade” Anyway I have asked him a few times why he talks like that and he…

Space Meditation

Nothing gets past Noon
Noon, being Asian, is very strict about taking shoes off in the house. I am good about it, but its not as ingrained in me. So it was that the other day she got me new slippers. I was wearing them when our new puppy, Rex, needed to go potty. So I took him out.…

Digging for Jewels
I cam upon Sean digging in the yard. I had recently filled a hole I dug there so the dirt was freshly turned over. He had already filled two five gallon buckets full of dirt, which is good work for a kid who can’t break 40 pounds. I asked him what he was doing and…
