bearing treasures

My love is home. We have been settling back into family life together and it is wonderful to have him back. Ari was so excited to see him (phew! there was that quiet worry that he would forget, but of course not, he's his Papa!) wiggling and grinning and putting his arms out to him. And the bonus is all the treasures he brought back with him- look at these lovely things! Fabric and paper, a sewing box, sweet treats, wooden spoons (we seem to collect them... not sure when that started...) and Ari's favorite, clay bells. See those hands blurred with the work of ringing them? He would do that all day if we held him up to do it.
