rainy day

ez and i are both a bit under the weather.  outside it has been raining on and off all day and the view from our windows looks like we are in a dreamland.  of course we kind of are in our current state of existence.  i love when the outside matches my inside.  we spent the afternoon painting new pictures to decorate the house.  ezra tried something new today.  after watching me draw percy for him to paint, he drew james with pencil first and then painted him.

we listened to a friend's native american flute cd that he didn't ask me to turn off, instead he just said, "this is a sad song" and let it play.  hmm.  i like this boy who tries new things.  i'm excited for the year ahead and the developments that will unfold.  as i am writing this, ezra pulled the guitar over to the couch and is now strumming and singing along.  a big smile is on my face.
