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.

Sibling love
Our very belated Christmas picture from before we left for Canada and a picture of us in our real life attire. We never used to dress up for family pictures. It's Dominique's fault because she has so many pretty outfits given to her. I guess she upgrades the rest of us.
Our bed time ritual includes baths, wild screaming around the house, a race to Ivan's room, stories, prayers, kisses and hopefully sleep sometime thereafter. Usually I get the kisses, but sometimes Dominique or Ivan wants to show their affection for each other. These pictures came out all funky since I had to use the slow flash for it to not be glaring white with the regular flash.
Funny Ivan story- Ivan called out to me: "Mom, I spelled Dominique's name." When I looked, I saw this... I started to spell her name for him saying: "Her name starts with a D", but he interrupted me "There's a D right there".
So, he knows that his name is spelled "I V A N" and that her name is spelled with a whole lot of letters- basically most of the alphabet.

"Little girls" can uplift and dress up the whole family. So glad yours is doing that and Ivan seems to be really taken with her too.
