Small Is Beautiful

I'm so proud of our kids. They've played together, and on their own, and with us, so happily today. And this evening we all went out to Ruth's birthday party - Happy Birthday for tomorrow, Ruth! - which ran from 5:00pm so families could come too (though we didn't get ourselves in gear soon enough to get there that early...). I watch Susie - shy with strangers at the moment, generally introvert like her dad - and Noah - always looking for an audience to perform to, a real extrovert dynamo - and feel so priveleged to be part of their lives, for them to be part of mine.
