up and out

While I'm preoccupied with the near-future, my kids determinedly grow up in the here and now.





In the "just a year" that we've been staying here, Sir O has completely blossomed with his ability to communicate complex thoughts and ask meaningful questions.  Our Captain has transformed from a babyman to an autonomous toddler.  (And he's picked up great momentum with his speech, just in the last two weeks).  Oh, and the gentleman has exploded into a ginormous tubby chunk of sunshine.



So why don't I feel like I've changed much at all?  I expect I just can't see it because I've been experiencing every minute glacial iota of it.  I know it's impossible to keep from changing, and I hope hope hope I'm changing more for the better than not.
