Lament for My Mommy's Return to Work

By -
by Jonah Elias Timetraveler Diltz


Today I am sad
My little heart feels hungry
My mommy left for work today
But I know she really loves me

I will occupy my hours
With the antics of my silly father
I'll giggle and I'll smile
though without you it can be a bother

Because there isn't anyone
Who understands me quite the way you do
I'm content and growing healthy
And the reason why is you

Now I know you must be sad as well
But there's no need to worry
I am saving up my biggest smile
So come home in a hurry.

My oh my. My Grandson certainly is articulate for his age! Jonah, I love your poem and newest photos. I know you miss mommy but you couldn't have a better stand in than your loving father. I remember how hard it was for him to return to work and leave you for the day. You certainly have wiggled yourself deeply into the hearts of everyone in your life in such a short time. You are loved so much.

You look so cute Jonah! We can't wait to see you and the family. BeeBao misses you. :) BeeBao has the same chair as you do. Have you eaten solid yet? Like baby cereal. We hope the family are doing well and have fun with your mommy and daddy.

Poor Jonah, but moreso poor Hallie. I hope it's not too hard!

Plus, silly father antics make the world go round. Kindof. OK, not really but they sure are fun.

Want some Cheese With That Ice Cream?

By -
The weather was beautiful this weekend and we were fortunate enough to have plans for the beach. We stayed at a beach house in Manzanita Oregon with grandpa and grandma Clark and Auntie Kealie and her boyfriend Chris. We came back from one of 3 trips to the beach today and stopped for some ice cream. Jonah pretty much stole my ice cream and had a wonderful time doing so. He is a happy kid. I love this little boy so much.

Baby as Religion

I have no plans to hold my baby up as the next savior, there already seems to be plenty of others out there right now saying so about themselves (type Bush and Messiah in google and be stunned) and I am pretty certain that Bhudda, Jesus, Martin Luther King Jr., Ghandi, Mohammed, Cesar Chavez, Subcomandante Marcos and many others I am neglecting would never have said so about themselves. Anyway, the title of this post is because of what little Jonah has brought to our world in less than a week of life outside the womb. For me, religion went hand in hand with giving thanks. I don't practice the religion of my youth but haven't forgot that "giving thanks" was a part of life either. However, seeing Jonah breath, flail, cry, poo, eat and generally struggle to understand this new world has made all of the things I am and have been thankful for over my life flood into my thoughts. So, in a way my little Jonah, and each life, new and old, has the ability to make someone t...
