This poem, found on a favorite blog, spoke to me in so many different ways…

And it has such a long way to go
through such desolate space.
So let’s be gentle with it.
Cherish it.
So it […]

There are days or nights we may find ourselves “curled up in tears on the bathroom floor”. I found myself in just this position the other night.

My heart melted when I read this.
What beautiful words from a Papa about his little daughter.
I especially liked this line….. “She’s got magic in her heart and will teach you how to find yours if you pay attention to her lessons.”

Recent and continuing passions of a 13 year old boy:
Birds - Josh has been birding now for about three years and the passion only seems to grow for him. As he has 305 life birds, now it gets harder and harder to add to it. He’s seen pretty much everything around our area. As a […]

from attendance at the midnight showing of Spiderman III last night (or I guess I should say this morning). Josh and I had a great time and I feel blessed that my” baby”, who is an “official” teenager now, does not think it is uncool to be out with his mom at such things. Although […]

One word that seems to sum up life around our house right now. Even in times like this though learning continues. Today: geography, earth science, politics, and ethics all from just this one article, Behold the Incredidible Shrinking Colorado River.
