Iris and Mommy

Golden child, earth blossoms at your voice
watch a teardrop falling from the sky
up above, heaven pauses in its course
angel's hearts break to hear you cry

Mothers kiss is warm with comfort sweet
like the smell of summer in the pea plant
feel the warm breeze tickling tiny feet
as I lullaby my fairy infant.

Happy Birthday Jesus .......and Iris Dominica!

Meet my little fairy child, born on the 24th of December (poor thing!) one month early, weighing 2.500 kilos and shrieking like her mommy when shes angry!
Some say she looks like daddy, but the majority vote is shes mommys image in miniature. She has my eyebrowless german scowl, and shifty wisdom of the sages face, and Daddy laughs so much when she makes faces and throws fits that sound and look just like mommy's.
Everyone cant help but comment on how pretty she is for a newborn. And of course proud Mommy and Daddy have to concede that she is in every sense perfect! We're so very thankfull that she came out so healthy, and strong and breathing right even though, she was born a whole month early. Derek and Justin mustve been taking care of their little sister.

Feliz Cumple Fran!


Fran, este post es para acordarle a todo el mundo en esta fecha tan especial y tan occupada de tu cumpleaños.
Thank you for the times of fun, of hanging out of laughing till we feel like we're gonna die. Thank you for listening and for talking, for grimaces and faces and unconcievable terms and words that just fit and dont make sense all at once, for music and for singing, for harmonies and nifty vocal arrangements that are so classical and old school theyre corny, for cards and notes all covered in nifty grafitti-like decorations, for german accents and personifications, for nuggets, german piglets, mostards, dislocating elbows with grace, for cheese faces, and chresendos and diminuendos, for praisetime songs with tatoo lyrics, and fainting sessions with the secta............I know all this wont make sense to anyone but you so Ill just leave it at that, but i just wanna wish you a super happy birthday and hope you know youll always be my Franchuelo_love.

Iris

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

26th of Nov, Happy 1st b'day!

Ok I know im almost a month late for this but well couldnt just let it pass....



Its come around, that time of year
that just a year since now
I thought would be so diffrently
than how it all turned out

I thought today, Id make you a cake
and light a candle on it
then both of you would blow it out
and lick the icing off it

I thought today we'd celebrate
with family and friends and nephews
I went to see you and found instead
that children slept around you

I thought Id give you gifts today
of books and toys brand new
instead I brought you flowers cause
they made me think of you

I thought Id tuck you in a crib
and wish you happy dreams
instead I lay you in a bed
of earth and sky and trees. Mawiee

Ok I have to start this by confessing that, since the twins were gone Ive gone through a strange hormonal disballance of motherly urge to adopt everything and everyone around that need mothering. Jeej!! (well now come to think about it, even at the XD I did adopt a japanese orfan named Koji........WE LOVE YOU KOJI!!!........ but that was while i was still pg.......this multicolored adopting seems to be in style among celebrities....heehee!)
Anyway that's beside the point right now. I was saying, about my hormonall disballance, that I took to adopting children of all sorts of shapes and sizes in order to try to fill that empty feeling ....starting with and entire group of seven polish children (alias: the samagirls, or samakids) followed by the Smakerell (alias: Fredrich, Pooch of love and affection, Chiquinini, Nuni, Shnitzell, and Arianne......she has many names and descriptions....) and a very large, black, brasilian, baby orfan.
Theres nothing that is so irresistable to a craving, hormonally'disballanced, mother robbed of her young, than someone that needs her mothering.
It wasnt always like this, at the beggining I have to admit we couldnt stand each other's guts. He thought I was mental, and I avoided him......he got so on my nerves.........
Then something happened, some breaking point in which I realised that what everybody needs is love and that love and patience are the key to every heart.
Anyway, during the whole time he was here i have to say I sort of took it upon myself to look out for him while he was here. When he leaves Ill miss him for sure.....its always hard when the babies fly away from the nest.
Ill miss just sitting and listening to him for hours on end, and listening some more, as he pours out his troubles and woes
Ill miss petting and kissing his bald head when hes frustrated and theres really nothing to say that will make him feel better
Ill miss putting him to sleep when he feels lonely
Ill even miss him when he was angry and sensitive over some corny harmless joke and is bawling me out over my teasing him and I have to just stay put to avoid further wrath (a soft answer turneth away wrath)
Ill miss him taking a turn to take care of me and putting me to sleep when I was alone and staying with me when i had nightmares
Ill miss listening to Bells of Michael Piano and the whole album over and over and over with him
Ill miss him bringing me special fruit from the market
Ill miss him getting overprotective and maybe a little possesive over his big mama.
Ill miss him being obnoxious and doing annoying things when he feels like he has to get my attention
Most of all Ill miss him needing me when The Lord takes him to whatever destination he has for him and gives him that long promised perfect wifey and family and promised land....but Ill be soooooooooo happy for him and Ill be praying for him till it happens................. AND after (knowing him, he might need more prayer then than now, heehee!!)

I love you Thiago, and like it or not, even when youre gone and forgotten me Ull still be by big black adopted baby.
