More Heath Writing

Phone dump

The barred owls we live in our yard. 

A rare but wonderful visit with friends since birth. 

One day in a hike. 

One day on a basketball court  

One night when Heath passed out in the car. 

One morning when I made Heath brush his teeth for two whole minutes. Torture!  

One day when I had a mustache.  I do this only for Les and for a day.  

Barred owl again. 

Bball court again. 

One mirning. 

Hike on friends property on the Chickahominy. 

Heath at swim practice. 

Boys boarding their first solo plane!

Where they went: to visit Granna and Grandad. 

Heath after combing hair. 

And alder... 

Capturing the season's transition in the carport scene. 

I finally threw these shoes away yesterday after they were quite a bit more worn than this. But I took this picture because he for the past two or three months has refused to wear his new shoes, continuing to wear these, because he wanted to "save" the new ones.

Heath at 100 Years Old

And an image altered with a computer program or something:

Animal

This boy has read two hundred pages of the third Harry Potter book in the past 6 hours. He can't stop. 

Baby teeth

Top teeth are loose. Wanted to capture this face before they are gone and big boy teeth change his appearance so much. 

Because after big kid teeth comes this!

Just found this in my shirt pocket

From Heath. 

Alder

)We played some basketball on this warm morning before school. Man oh man how we love this boy. Almost nine...

(And a shout out to Heath who is unfortunately weathering a high fever today.  And another to mom who is with him on her spring break when she wanted to be so productive. I love y'all too!)

.....

The update. Three hours later...  Alder too. More thanks to mom. This is how it happens. This how weeks fall apart.
