Over here, in this small world of ours, we are trying to take it just one day at a time.  Looking at the big picture is entirely way too overwhelming.   When things get tough, sometimes voices resonate in my head–telling me that I should put away the camera.  That I shouldn’t lounge in the […]

. . . because having wonderful friends stop by just because they like you makes days brighter. . . . and because having a mini-mini-photoshoot in the living room is the best way to do a photoshoot. . . . and because there is nothing better than arms all tangled around each other in the […]

My dear faithful readers, Yes, you know who you are.  And I know you are out there all over the place. . . my sitemeter stats tell me so.  You are from different states, different places in your walk of life.  Some of you are my family, some are friends, and some are people I’ve […]

This little boy of mine will only be two for another week.  I keep telling myself not to blink. . . because surely time keeps slipping through my hands when I shut my eyes. Little Brayden Man, won’t you stay my little boy forever?    

We are sun lovers.  Days are always merrier when the sun comes to visit.  Here in our part of the world, we  only see it a measly percentage of the year, so we adore any of the days we get it.   But, I would like to add a disclaimer.  Truthfully, I love the sun […]

James plays soccer on Thursday nights.  Most of the time, when he’s gone, I hop on the computer and enjoy an hour of pure bliss.  Some quality time alone with Photoshop.  Photoshop and I are becoming fast friends.  It’s a give and take relationship.  I give it raw images straight from my camera, and it […]

I am mourning the loss of my child’s hair today.  My eyebrows are furrowed and I have a poochy bottom lip.  Last month, Carter had a head full of the best baby hair ever.  It curled like mad right after his bath . . . and then when the curl fell out, it stuck up […]

I wish I could sit here and think of many witty and funny things to say about our crazy week.  I’d love to break it down into cleverly written stories, highlighting everything that we did that was amazing.  But I don’t have the energy, the brainpower or the time.  So I’ll just give it to […]

I wish I could write an entire post about the blur of our last few days.  But seriously, I am going to bed.  I was home for about an hour today and my bed is now beckoning me.  Yesterday was just as busy, and tomorrow is no better.   But I know I haven’t posted […]
