I should mention…

Earlier today, I picked up my iPhone to find this: It seems that someone had been doing a little dialing. And, I should mention that the above Googling occurred right after I intercepted her from doing this: And, perhaps I should mention that as she was sorting through this case of beer, she was blabbing away, saying "Mmmmm, ...

On Peace.

This afternoon, on a walk down our street, my daughter held her two fingers in the air (as she has been known to do) and said, "Peace, man." To whom, I don't know.

Anniversary

Last week, we celebrated our Anniversary. I have so much to say, but don't quite know how... except for this: Four years ago, life looked like this: And this year, on our anniversary, it looked like this: And today, it looks like this: Ever after, for always and love love love is still all I need.

my sister: Today, you graduated from Graduate School with your Master's degree and I could not be more proud. As you are about to start your first job, a real job, an amazing job, I can't help but to gasp as I realize you are now grown up. The hours we spent in your little, pink Laura Ashley bedroom, playing hairdresser as "Sherry Shamu" ...

Time may change me…

So, rock 'n' rollers, do you hear it? ...the sound of us making some ch-ch-changes, yet again. And while I'm so happy about all of the new and exciting opportunities being afforded to us, they also make me nervous. (The audible "it" I mentioned above could also be a reference to the sound of my jaw clenching at night. ...

BEST.

From my sister, on Mom's Day: She knows me. She knows me best.

Oh Happy (Mother’s) Day.

Oh happy day, indeed. In the 23 months since I first began keeping this "baby book", I have worked towards defining what it means to be a mother. From scary moments to celebration, dance parties to dress-up dates, these small snapshots fit together to paint a cubist picture of a concept that is so precious, so dynamic, so colorful that it is ...
