"I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world"

So thank you everyone for your messages and pictures and well wishes.

*Yang... you can email me at future_uncertain7@yahoo.com. Let me know if this doesn't work. It's an account I set up just for Lindaland, but it expired. I reactivated it today, but you know how those things can go sometimes... I'll let you know when I receive your message.

Indeliza Grace, what a beautiful name! I bet she is as lovely as her name.

Relationship-oriented, sociable, diplomatic, and charming. Libra, the Sun in the element of air is stimulated mentally and has a detached, yet charming, perspective on life... Libra is motivated and recharged by intellectual concepts, social interchanges, and the communication of ideas and/or ideals. The element of air (barring other factors) tends to produce a fairly active mind in the young Libra. The world is approached with reason and everything (everyone) is open to analysis.

Ruled by the planet Venus and symbolized by the Scales of Justice, Libra is concerned with making choices, evaluations, weighing the evidence and balance. Libra can see all the many sides of an argument or issue. And in the interest of fair play, Libra really doesn’t wish to make a final decision until every last bit of the data and documentation has at last been sent in and accounted for. Unfortunately, the Libra Sun knows that there’s always one more bit of information which could be gathered, if only enough time is given...

Barring other factors in their chart, Libra is quite social and sensitive to what’s going on around them. Libra’s sense of inner-harmony is closely related to and affected by what’s going on around them. Disharmony, arguments and disputes going on in their immediate environment disturbs inner-harmony of Libra. So for Libra’s own sense of harmony, they often act as peacemakers in their environment. Social interaction with other people is vital to Libran energy. Other people act as reflective mirrors through which Libran energy can learn more about their own ideas and thoughts. Libra generally discovers clarification regarding what they think about a particular matter or situation only after their first hearing what other people think and have to say on the matter.

The Libra child generally has the incredible knack of adapting to just about any situation or environment. This means that beginning school is usually not a problem, because your Libra child loves people and interacting with other people. http://astrology.about.com/od/yourzodiacsign/l/blchildlibra.htm

Sharing A Complementary Element

(Sag Mommy and Libra)
You and your child share what's called a Complementary Element. What this beneficial placement means is that while the two you don't share of the same styles of thinking, communicating, and relating - the two of you do have the great benefit of understanding another and respecting the different ways in which the other person thinks, communicates, and relates. Sharing a complementary Element will help out in the two of you truly having mutual empathy for one another and a mutual understanding of the other person. http://astrology.about.com/od/yourzodiacsign/l/blelementsb.htm

But she's sleeping right now, so I have some time to sit here and reflect. We're lucky-- she's a good little sleeper. Her brother never slept for more than 45 minutes at a stretch it seemed. Getting some sleep makes all the difference in the world!

I want to say thank you to Stargazer, Mirandee, WaterNymph, TheEvolution (thanks for the comic. I love Calvin and Hobbes!), Cancerrg, DayDreamer, Wednesday, Cardinalgal, ElenaP, Noreenz, Rainbow (your posts are gorgeous!), Lialei (more beautiful artwork!), PixelPixie, Yang, MysticMelody (that song chokes me up), Bluemoon, PhoenixFlight, ScotScorp, AcousticGod (thanks for the astro info. Interesting read!), aqua (Hey to you! Hope you're doing well.), and Suegee!

Yes, Pix... bliss is right. I'm trying to think of something coherent to write, but all I can think about is how happy, busy, uncertain, and magical these days have been. Such a rich mix of emotion, so many new puzzle-piece edges exposed as our family learns to fit together with this new link that binds us all together... it's been amazing and sometimes terrifying, but I'm bursting at the seams, ya know?

Yes. Bliss.

I'll have new pics up soon. She'll be two weeks old tomorrow, so she's changed quite a bit already.

what is the age gap? I'm curious because your son looks about my daughters age.
