We just had figured out that the Quail was big enough to ride this little trike. Not only did she stay on for the ride, she managed to climb off and then strut proudly off to a “Stayin Alive” style toddle as her biggest fans cheered her on. Way to go Quail-ee!

Zuzu is pure motion & energy. This spring she found her heart in gymnastics. There the intention is to run and jump. They teach you how….what could be sweeter?

She pads into the kitchen at the sound of the radio playing a sweet slow song. Her arms lift up as she looks at me expectantly. I gladly pick her up and we sway for a few beats until I hear the sound of her soft snores in my ear.

On the heals of the precious, joyfilled news that the Quail is not in need of open-heart surgery in the next year, I returned home from work to the news that Zuzu had thrown up at school. The gratitude I feel for a simple childhood illness that only needs cuddles,stuffed animals, a plastic bucket, cold sips of water and popcicles to heal is boundless. Bless their hearts. Both of them.
