The House of the Rising Sun

This is how attentive we are to things around the house. For several months in our bedroom there have been some post-it notes on the walls. These show some of Laney's first experiments with writing.

Last night we noticed some "new" ones. They have been there all along. We just hadn't really looked at them. On the north, east and south walls of the master bedroom there are talismans inscribed with very ancient baby runes that can be interpreted as witch and spirit, with Jensen's name on the north wall mommy on the east and Ailsa on the south.

I looked, but could not find any such amulet protecting against the wicked father of the home. I'm afraid to look under the marital bed for fear of finding a large pentagram.
