Jonah hearts Unca Adam

Uncle Adam left this last weekend after a nice long stay with us. We had such a great time and it was so easy having him be a part of our family rhythm. He and jonah get on like a house on fire. They played in the sand pit together, and read books aloud. they actually hung laundry on the clothesline. we often did the ice cream/ playground combo. adam came to parties with us and charmed everyone he met. we went blackberry picking, he pushed the stroller on our noon time walks, and the cart at the grocery store. adam visited the gathering place doing art, cooking and making dog biscuits 3 times a week. we went fishing at north beach. jonah whacked adam with a wooden lawnmower and then tried to administer first aide by himself. they sat side by side at the dinner table alternately feeding themselves, each other and fela. adam drank coffee with us every morning. what? coffee? adam and jonah were thick as thieves. they have a genuine sweetness together, a friendly camaraderie with just a touch of bossy at times. its all sweet and rosy, of course, until jonah starts saying some of adam's famous swear words. thanks adam. fortunately, use of those words was short lived. all in all, it was a marvelous visit and i hope adam comes to visit us more often.
