They are easier to detect after the fact. They are uncanny encounters, brushes with the supernatural, where the presence of the Lover accompanies us in a very real way, sheltering, directing, loving, moving, giving life to our everyday existence. You can't totally explain the experience, but you leave shaken to the very depths, knowing that you have been kissed by the Divine.

our little beauty
I was looking back at videos from a year ago and was surprised to discover that Ivan was pretty much incomprehensible. We could tell some of what he was saying, with plenty of context cues, but it was still very much a guessing game-- much like Dominique now. It's incredible to see what a year does in the life of one so young and amazing to think that Dominique will be talking away clearly like Ivan is today about a year from now.
Her favorite things right now is "drawing" and reading. She didn't want to go to bed for a nap today (none of them did) and when I went to check on her, expecting to find her in a fit on the floor, she was sitting in the rocking chair in her room amidst a pile of books- calmly reading away. Later, after her nap, she came out with what I think was carpet pattern all over one side of her face. I don't think she quite made it into her bed.

She is a real beauty and a cutie!
She is growing up fast.
We have a little girl who likes to sit in a rocking chair and read too. It is such a shame there is so much land between our houses - I think our kids would get along famously!
Great pictures by the way!t
