After the events of yesterday, Isaac was up and at'em at his usual time (7am), and spent a good 20 minutes rolling around in bed with us playing. He was just happy. His face was good and swollen, but you could see him smiling in there.
After a few shows in the AM, he insisted on going outside to play. Bella was invited over to a neighbors house for a long day of playing. So we started up the block, and as we passed people, I felt the need to explain his face... so we went up the block SLOWLY.
When we hit mid-block outside of Casey's house, we saw a bald eagle perched up in a tree, looking over the neighborhood. There were three very annoyed crows circling around yelling at him, but the eagle was unperturbed. It is an odd thing to see such a large bird... I figured it was the Great Spirit coming down to see how Isaac was doing.
After the sighting, Isaac decided he was strong enough to march down to the park and play on the swings and slides for a while. We got back up the hill and he had some lunch, and a nap... and Pamela and I took the opportunity to pass out too.
Into the evening, Isaac kept on playing, showing no signs of feeling his face - his attitude was entirely intact. We had dinner and more playing, and he hit bedtime at his usual 8pm time, somewhat reluctantly.
In the meantime, we got so many nice calls and notes from people - we were really touched. And we got quite a few cookies delivered as well, which was too bad since we don't like cookies all that much ;-> .... we were in HEAVEN!!!
Alas, I'm off to Tacoma in the morning, and won't be back until Wednesday evening, so keep those good thoughts of support coming for Pamela and the family. I wish I could cancel, but there's a boardroom waiting for my presentation. Sigh.
Oh, one more thing: Finished Book 3, and will likely consume Book 4 on my long travel week here. Good stuff here. Good stuff.

Ah. The eagle was a good visitor. And the little guy is in good hands.
I am almost done with book 3. Teen angst is great fun - and I love the stories. Bringing in Heathcliff and Cathy is terrific - she seems to know the required reading for her target audience. Moments of tedious exposition (pouts, arguments - I am so over her moods. Still, she is trying to feel comfortable with becoming another species altogether) are more than compensated for moments of surprise - looking out and not seeing the wolves - until she looks up and sees their eyes. Yes, this if fun. Travel safe.
