Good news and... more good news

First up: Joe started walking on Saturday. While it's the end of an era (my last baby will only be a baby for about five more minutes), it's a significant milestone in a series that mark his growing physical and intellectual development, which is a wonder as it unfolds. I'm reminded yet again that if I'm doing my job as a mother, I become a little more obsolete with every passing day. And that's a good thing.

Then, last night I opened my email to a lovely surprise: Segullah accepted my poem "Lacuna" for print in their last-ever print issue this fall.
