A trip to the library.  One of our favorite places.  Books, book, and more books.  Charlie said, “I wish we could take them all home.”  So do I, Buddy, so do I.  How I wish time would allow for us to drink it all in.  The words. . . all the words.  The beautiful, lovely, […]

    My 2 year old helped me bake cookies last night and it turned out just like this. It is a great test of patience, especially after a long day. I think it makes you step back and realize that a messy kitchen isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things.ReplyCancel

    S, this post was very special. It's so amazing to be able to share this journey with you through your words on this blog. This is one of those posts that, while born from you, will speak to everyone. It certainly spoke to me.

    It's one I'll return to when I need a little lift, and to remember what's truly important in my own life.

    Love you, friend.ReplyCancel
