Tonight, my daughter and I did our normal bedtime routine. I told her two stories (one about today's camp show, and one about a big dolls from Frozen); We sang through our repertoire of songs, but this time she insisted upon trading off with each word, sometimes each syllable, making "Yan"-"Kee"-"Doo"-Dle" and the rest of our lineup feel extremely long. (By ...
“Show a little faith” and Superman.
A funny thing just happened. Funny as in curious and noteworthy; I was just cuddling in bed with my husband and the baby. I heard my daughter playing quietly in the next room, not sure when she woke up, but knew she was entertaining herself. But I wanted her. I wanted the four of us to ...

My Love.
Long ago, we wrote love notes. We wrote each other poems, left little hearts around, exchanged cards and poems. Now, our love is much deeper.

Boy am I in for it.
Daughter: "Mommy, who is your best friend EVER?" Beat Me: "Daddy is." Daughter: "That was the wrong guess. I'll give you another try. Here. She's four years old and she's beautiful and she's amazing. Now can you guess?" But I'll just say that if she wants to deem me her best friend for life, I'll take it.
Well said.

For some time now, K and I have been leaving notes for each other in the same word document on the computer every night for each of us to wake up or come home to or find. It is romantic, it is tender, it is intimate and it is organic. We are finding ourselves again, ...
