The Koala Vest
Chicken Nugget, the almost 7 year old got this little koala (pictured above) from prize box at school yesterday. He’s and adorable pencil hugging little thing who can also hug your pinky finger, or clip on to the side of your cardigan. Being tiny, and cute, and huggy, he is instantly a favorite thing.

4 am
It's morning although daylight has not broken the horizon and raised her head to wake up the world. I hear the snuffles and rootles of your rising, my ears completely in tune to your every movement no matter how silent, and they pull back the veil of sleep from my eyes. I awake from my dreams to this new one - you need me. I marvel at how beautiful that is, how loved and blessed I am by your dependance, and how it is also so exhausting in its completeness.

The accidental fight
On today's episode of Parenthood should really come with a manual... I started a fight between my daughters on the school bus. I wasn't even there, and it was a complete and total accident... I keep forgetting what they say the path to hell is paved with.

The Little Black Book
The little black book was an unexpected discovery in the pile of belongings Lara’s estranged grandfather had left to her. It had arrived in a plain heartless manila envelope sandwiched between stacks of papers full of plain heartless legal words that hardly echoed the man she thought she remembered. It stood in stark contrast against the sea of white papers strewn about the table as Lara tried to make sense of what was left of the life of a man she had hardly known.
