Holiday Joy
We got a little snow last week, which is a rare treat around here these days. Well, a treat if you don’t have to drive in it. Last year, we didn’t get any snow, so our one snow day was a pretty big deal for my 4-year-old. I love the way snow quiets things. You […]
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
There is a local family that goes all out with their Christmas decorations every year. Santa frequently stops by to pose for DIY photos, and they even have a snow making machine installed on the side of their house. They also collect for the NW Harvest food drive every year. Every where you look is […]

Egg Hunt
Sunday’s Easter Egg Hunt was followed by thirty photos of her opening the candy. I could not get her to look up at me for anything. I just don’t measure up to that candy. 😉 Oh, well, at least the flowers were willing to pose for the camera. Show me what you shot

Resolutions: getting organized
Over the years, I’ve made resolutions and succeeded, made resolutions and failed miserably, and I’ve even taken the bah-humbug route and refused to make resolutions at all. While there is something appealing about the bah-humbug method, I have come to appreciate the time out each year to stop and think about where I’ve been, where […]
Dear Gem – Month 9
As I am writing this letter, we have all the lights in the house turned out except for the Christmas decorations, and Christmas movies playing on the TV. It’s two nights before Christmas, and you’re making your rounds of the living room. You check out the tree, then play with a toy, look at a […]
