My boys are getting so big. Today I welcomed their winter colds as an excuse to snuggle them and take care of them like when they were little.

I'm working to be a better listener. To what is being said to me. And to what is being said around me.

i watched him through the window as he sat with the bigger kids. his feet dangling, his little head barely peeking above the table. my heart caught in my throat.

His birthday always gets a little overlooked, but even with his faults, we owe him so much. And don't we all have faults?
