weekend lookback, october 6

All of my chicks are returned to me. Neel's dad should (we hope) be getting home from the hospital today. Much weakened, and that ever-so-annoying phrase "the new normal" keeps getting bandied about. Awesome.

Mostly we're just so grateful for the time. That Neel and Cal had such good time with his dad and that we all have more time.

This week is all about re-entry and recovery and make up quizzes and plowing through bursting-at-the-seams in boxes. I have each of your lovely comments to respond to and so many texts and emails myself that deserve attention. I'm trying to slow down more. And take time.

Thank you all, again and again.

On Fridays I'll be featuring the daily photos I take throughout the week. To see the photos I've taken throughout the year, you can check out my Flickr feed. I've also added camera and lens info below each photo.

If you're interested in even more eye candy, I (mostly regularly) take part in a blog with other phenomenal photographers, far more talented than I, who are shooting with the Fuji X system. We call ourselves the Fuji X Crew. Those posts are published on Fridays and can be found here.

My father in law is feeling better. He's out of ICU, and we have hopes that he'll head home soon. But you know how these things are. It's a long slog. Neel's been there since Tuesday, and yesterday Cal made his first solo flight to go and spend some time with his granddad. As hard as it is to be here and so far away, it felt so good and right to send them down there. Absolutely the right and best thing to do. I look forward to the week after Christmas when we'll all be together again.

I can't thank you all enough for the texts and calls and emails of support you've sent our way. I could feel your kind and hopeful thoughts lifting us up. The world really is a small place after all, isn't it?
