No matter what time of day it is, or what room she is sitting in, my Lola always manages to find the sunny spot, small as it may be, to stretch out and bask and nap upon. The entire house could be dark and gloomy, or filled with energy and sound, and, without fail, Lola will have found the one, small slit of light and ...
11. Something that makes you happy I have to imagine it's no accident that my happy post falls on number 11. Cozy Nook + fuzzy socks + snuggles + cute dog in sunny spot + 11. Come on. This post just wrote itself.
On October 24, my son--my precious, strong boy--turned three. I am so proud of the little person he has become. My son knows what he wants in this world and he fights for it (even if that is the entire box of MOREOS! NOW!)

23. Your Shoes So, I was all prepared to use this photo: Because a) these were actually the shoes I wore this morning as we took a sunny stroll around the neighborhood and b) I was actually outside, walking.
