Vanism
Laying on the couch...reading...watching toons....I feel Van resting on me and see his blue eyes look into mine: Hey mama....how's our beautiful woman?
Melts a mama's heart...

Saturday Evening Music...
Elvis Perkins...not well known, son of Anthony Perkins. He opened for "My Morning Jacket" in Denver awhile back (pre-child and responsibility haha). Yellow is the color of my true love's crossbow...yellow is the color of the sun...

Brett's Brilliance
Digital photo frame seems to have been the trick to getting Van to 1-go to his room for bedtime, 2-stay in his room while we read books, 3-lay in bed with one of us until he falls asleep, 4-stay in his bed ALL NIGHT LONG! Before now, this had been one of the most stressful parts of the day and kept us all from sleeping well. Good thinking babe...and you got one more thing cleaned off of your fly tying space ;) Oh, and he's asleep now..REALLY...it's not even 9:00! I'm happy to send him to bed with pictures of those who love him dearly fresh in his mind. Van says: My room is wike my own movie theater!

Vanism
Van loves examining all of the holiday decorations that his grandparents have. Here is a Vanism from each beloved 2nd home...
Proudly, the little guy brings a yellow cone-shaped, fruit filled object to his Papa. Papa says, "Well what is that?" Grandma can't think of the word....tries but can't...Van says in an "are you serious" tone: Grandma! Dat's a cornucopia!
At MorMor and Papa's: Van gently swings an ornament on the tree with his little finger. I tell him that it sure is a pretty ornament and he says: Yep it's Mary and her Wife-men. MorMor admitted he might have missed something in her explanation :)
