Gymnastics.
Its her passion.
Im so amazed at the will and dedication of her tiny 7 year old self.
On her days “off” shes still tumbling through the house, stretching or flipping around her bar at home.
Shes in complete AWE of the “big girls” in her gym and on TV… when she watches them I see her passion,...

This bracelet…one of my most treasured possessions.
My husband started this bracelet for me Christmas 1992- I was 17 years old.
He took me to see the Nutcracker and gave me this bracelet with a nutcracker charm attached.
Ever since, he has added to it marking milestones, events and happy memories in our life together.
Each little charm is...

They LOVE each other.
Oh of course the bicker, argue and roll their eyes at one another.
But they are also true best friends.
They are always thinking of each other and things they can do to bring a smile to one another’s face.

That beast of...

They have become a mainstay.
Central to his wardrobe are these rubber fireman boots.
I bought them last January when the yearly 24 hour threat of Houston snow hit.

He wears them rain or shine, 100 degrees or 10 degrees, he doesn’t discriminate.
I have seen...

Her labor was perfectly textbook.
She came into the World easily, calm, sweet and so very tiny.
Her cries wer like a kitten and she was so delicate… weightless… like holding a whisper in my hands.
As the days passed she revealed herself.
Her strength, her stubborn streak, the “old soul” that looked back at me from those beautiful...

My boy!
He’s the most handsome little guy I have ever met.
He has the sweetest brown eyes that always smile before his mouth does. His Grammy says they remind her of a little calf- big, brown and long lashed.
I love the way that he slightly wrinkles his nose when he’s particularly happy…or feeling mischevious.
He has...

What she does.
She does a million and one things that make me smile…that fill my heart with overflowing joy.
She dances.
And when she dances she is so pure and free.
She hears music and immediately some part of her starts to move… her arms, her hands, her feet, the corners of her mouth as they turn up...
