Through the Lens Thursday: Packed
During our family photo shoot, one of these kids was packed with attitude. Through The Lens Thursday is a self-improvement photography project that I’m doing again this year. Next week’s prompt is ALIVE.
It’s Been Nine Years
I see glimpses of him in his kids, all the time. Both have become smart, head-in-the-clouds artists, creative and (mostly) thoughtful.
Nine years ago today, I was leaving the hospital for the last time, crying as my mom drove the two of us home and telling her that I was pregnant […]

Through the Lens Thursday: View
We had a four day weekend for Thanksgiving last week, and this was our view for three of the four days, basically. We had a lot of family time, and some of it was quality. Thanksgiving didn’t quite go as planned, and Friday…well, Friday I had a lot of […]

Essie is such a gamer, like her brothers. She comes by it naturally, although I’m more like Ivy and will only play if I’m in the exact right mood (I loved to play the fighting games with my guy friends […]
Bubble, Popped.
For someone that highly values her personal space, I’m not often without someone in it.
This is my lap, always. It’s not terrible.
And that’s a wrap on NaBloPoMoSorta, folks. Thanks for bearing with me.
Dental Hysteria
I cringe when I see wiggly teeth in a mouth, but when it comes right down to it, I can pull them out with the best of them.
EB has had “shark teeth” for several weeks, and the baby teeth in front had gotten progressively looser.
Last night, we just decided […]
The Beginning of the End
Four years ago, my whole family (parents, siblings, nieces and nephews) took two giant passenger vans down to San Antonio for the Thanksgiving holiday.
It was a long trip (we got stuck in Austin traffic for a really long time), but we did a lot of fun stuff and all of […]
