| Silas Fox at one week |
I will miss little Silas, but I can’t stay here forever. The family needs their space, and besides, I’m not sure I’m all that helpful. I need to return to my own life – my husband, my house, my own bed, and my projects. Provided I make it through the airport and onto the plane tomorrow (Tuesday, Oct. 19), Mike will pick me up at the Moscow-Pullman Airport. I should be home by 3:00 p.m.
Someone reminded us the other day of the book, Silas Marner. I think I read it in high school. Hallie has ordered it from the library, and I downloaded it as an audiobook. How long has it been since you read Silas Marner? Do you remember the story?

Our Silas is a pretty good baby. Oh, he has a temper, but he can also be quietly awake and take good long naps. Hallie is able to juggle his care with household chores.
And Nick is a “Silas whisperer.” Silas responds well to his dad’s firm handling. And a fussy Silas is calmed when Nick carries him up and down the basement stairway. “I don’t know why this works,” says Nick, “but it does.” KW
Little Silas is one handsome baby! And I remember the title Silas Marner, and I think I probably did read it, but have no remembrance of the story. I'll have to look it up.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that Hallie is already back to household chores, and I love that Nick is already a hands-on daddy. I could never have done parenthood without all Dan's help.
