Dear Sydney, Each morning you come downstairs, put on your coat and red rain boots (the only footwear you have worn for about a year), open the glass slider and walk outside.  You take a walk around the yard- checking out what is different from the day before I suppose, or maybe you are just [...]

Kris was away for part of this past weekend.  I have learned that when it is just the kids and I sometimes we need to chill with no plans.  It takes the pressure off and allows us to enjoy each other. So this week I am grateful for:  An impromptu ice cream, and water play [...]

The moment was special and represented something significant to me, and my grandmother. I wanted to capture it. I also wanted to honor Memorial [...]
