heavy hearts

Our house is full of sadness right now. Kiddo's grandmother, Mimi's mother, our dear Janet passed away Tuesday night after battling several ailments for the better part of last year. She went quietly in the hospital with her husband, son, and her two older granddaughters by her side.

I think the word "remarkable" gets used a lot at times like this, but I can think of no better word to describe her. The trials she endured, the things she accomplished, the life she made...

Rest in peace, Dear Janet. You made the world a better place.

So sorry to hear this! We are sending some prayers and (ex)neighborly thoughts your way. Kevin lost his Dad last January, and we had no idea how painful losing a parent can be.

This is not the promised "Magical Ponies" post. Apologies. Instead, this is the "You Negligent Monster" post. Because Kiddo is in a Japanese daycare, parents are asked to remove their shoes before coming in. No problem. I have a pair of loafers that I hate that I wear on pickup days so I can get in and out more quickly. Most days while I'm putting my shoes on, Yuki will run away from me and I will make noisy protestations and she will giggle and come back. Today, however, there was the running and the noisy protestations and the giggling and a splat. I guess she tripped ("running away" involves going around a corner where I can't see her) because she was crying and pulling herself up off the floor when I got to her. "No big deal" as she likes to say (she does, really, it's friggin' adorable). She had a little red line across the bridge of her nose but there was no blood. She asked for a Band Aid and I told her we'd get her one...
