Katie's BMT Updates

Katie is being very generous in allowing other people to play with Zach.

Ian often takes Zach to school on the bike. Sometimes Zach doesn't want to get in the car at the end of the day, so G-pa and he walk the three blocks home which will take about an hour. They stop for blackberries.

On Wednesdays, Zach doesn't go to pre-school, so we usually have an adventure on those days. This picture is at the Discovery Museum where Zach became a skunk. Katie and Ian had dressed him in the finest garments as we were meeting Ava at the museum. Ava is three (an older woman). When we got home and after nap, Katie and Zach hung out together. He was one happy boy.

We have three generations living together. It's sort of Laura Ingall Wilder meets John Stewart. As a grandmamma, I dream of the perfect house where this could continue when Katie recovers the life she wants. We decided the house would need a kitchen with two entrances.....one for a private meal, one for a friendly public feast.

We are grateful for all the friends who have been eager to lend a hand.

Lately, a very bright and beautiful yellow bird has been visiting our front garden every morning. Today it flew around back and took a swim in the birdbath. Katie and Zach watched it together this morning. Zach is not surprised when bright yellow birds splash in the birdbath. It delights him, but he does not think it is extraordinary. That's our boy.
