all the things

I think what we need is to lie down on the floorand listen to recordsI’ll loop my pinky around yoursand we’ll talk about everything and nothinghow that rocket went into the skiesand came back down and flipped uprightand landed right on the platform in the oceanand then exploded into a fiery balland how it was […]

G’s big adventure

that kid in the middle right there just moved to college yesterday and I can NOT be more excited for what the future holds for this one. it’s gonna be big. it’s gonna be bright. and it’s gonna rock all of our worlds. I feel it. go get ’em, G. you got this. I love […]

family Friday

just when I start to wonder how my oldest two have shot up to over 6 feet, I remember the photo of my family from the 50s and it all makes sense.

lighten up

sometimes when we mess up, or something happens to us, we find it hard, impossible even, to stop ourselves from carrying that with us throughout the rest of our days. we know we’re doing it, and yet we can’t stop it. sometimes that load is too much. sometimes we need help. and too often we […]
