my boys

justin is here. yay! he drove over from chicago last night. i kept noah up until like 9:45 so he could see his daddy. they read like 5 books together and snuggled while noah drank his milk. noah was so excited to see him, he started jumping up and down on justin's lap.
when justin knocked on the front door, i brought noah with me to open it, and justin swept him right up in his arms and noah just looked at justin with this face like, "is it really you? where did you come from?" then he got really excited and smiley. i love that noah is so happy to see justin, and vice versa. i love that we pray over noah at night, and even if things are hard, it's still peaceful. we are our own little family, and that is so precious.

poem of the day: somewhere i have never travelled (i don't know if that's the actual title...) bu ee cummings

somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look will easily unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands
