These are the days of energy and play and spirit.Of three young boys learning power and strength and kindness from the two people who love them the most. These are the days. The good ones,The hard ones,The long ones,The plain ones,The ones filled with zest and action. The ones that drain you,That fill you,That leave […]

Hidden in plain sight.In the ordinary, regular, moment by moment everyday. Within the familiar routine and often at the center of the simplest of times we find it. The gift. The gift of time.Of laughter.Of growth. The gift of each other.Of baby laughs and stolen kisses. The gift of tiny toes and little fingers. The […]

Love them and lead them.Look in their eyes and listen closely to their hearts. Play with them.Imagine.Dream. Hear them and heed the unique gifts and special skills woven into their little beings.Encourage them.Inspire them.Spur them on. Let them know when they fall, you’ll be there to lift them again.See them and know them. And then […]

This sunny Summer day was theirs. Full of life, full of fun and brimming with a spirit of zest.They were easy going and relaxed, free to enjoy the moment, enjoy each step that had brought them here.
