Here's a picture of Graham the Klingon--he just won't let go of his poor mommy.

Ground-Breaking

Ground was officially broken this morning on our new garage. The masonry contractor arrived with his team at about 9:30 and pulled up the stump of our crepe myrtle tree by the roots. The ground will be prepped today and the concrete poured tomorrow. Hopefully the foundation should be finished by the end of the week. Then, next month, our intrepid family (both dads, Sarah's mom, A and Aa) will descend on Durham a week before Thanksgiving for our Garage-Raising Party. We're hoping to knock out the construction in a week and send them on their way stuffed with turkey and with our thanks. It should be quite an adventure, and we'll keep you posted as the project progresses.

On Faith and Forgiveness

Here is a great little meditation on forgiveness inspired by the recent Amish-murder--or rather by the astonishingly Christian response of the Amish to an unimaginable act of evil. Read it. And read it again.

Here's Graham with his Lamb of God, Aggie-D (a.k.a. Agnus Dei, a.k.a. Lamb of God, a.k.a. Jesus). Graham loves his Aggie-D. And he loves his mommy. Kisses for all!

Graham got a new tool today: his first toothbrush. He didn't quite know what to make of it, but he bore the experience manfully.
