The airport was a very dull, paling gray. There was way too much light streaming in through the wall-to-ceiling windows and too much chatter in the waiting area. “I need a gate pass, please. We just want to go to back to the terminal and watch him get off the plane.” “Ma’am, I’m going to […]

Every day around lunch time, you can find the little guy propped up in the window looking out waiting for his daddy to come home for lunch. After lunch, he climbs right back up in the same window seat and watches his daddy drive off…waving and smiling as he drives away. When 4:00 rolls around […]

My real life and bloggy BFF Courtney has started her own cute little photography meme! She’s had it going on for a few weeks now and I’ve just gotten around to linking up for the first time. The idea is to use your iPhone [or other smart phone device…whatever it may be] to snap a […]

Being in a new home has given me a lot of perspective on change and adaptation…both of which we are doing a lot of lately. The husband is love, love, loving his new job at the clinic and I am so proud of him for pursuing what it was that he really, really wanted. He […]
