so, the past week has been hard. very hard. I’m not ready to write it down yet, hopefully soon. I am reflecting on the past. thinking of my children & all of the years I have spent giving every piece of myself to them. parenting is hard. we all make mistakes. we learn. we keep going. I can only hope that none of them ever…
just a visit to the park this afternoon 10-3-16 trying to remember to take more video, obviously still learning but, having fun doing it. just trying to capture her little movements, the way she puts her front teeth out, her hair in the wind, her arms & the way she moves them. of course still photographs are my favorite but the way the video streams…
little bits & huge moments in our lives. sometimes I want to write it all down, other times all I can do is just try to keep up with life. looking back now, there are so many little & big moments missing from this blog, from the record of our daily lives. this space, it holds everything I hold close in my heart &…
we love going to lake zorinsky. it is close, there are 2 awesome parks for Sophia & it is pretty, if you find the right spots. this day there was a large family having a picnic by the park & they had scattered trash everywhere. it was pretty sad. Sophia saw the trash & she immediately ran to start picking it all up but,…
just learning to ride… and laughing hysterically.
summer shenanigans in full swing… Sophia & I on one of our nightly walks, this night we got caught in a heavy rain. we were dancing, twirling, screaming, laughing, jumping in puddles & then we saw shane coming to pick us up in the car. so sweet. but we declined the ride home, dancing in that rain was too much fun!! im sure we will…
so yes, I realize that all of these videos could be seen as excessive. ha. Mikayla pretty much made fun of me all day yesterday for working on these photos & this video off & on all day. I don’t care. it matters to me & I bet in twenty years this little video wont seem so ridiculous to her. in fact, she might…
we needed today… it started with Sophia being so happy that I was home again in the morning when she woke up & that makes me so happy. I was making coffee, turned around & saw she had sat right in the stream of morning sun coming thru the window. of course I ran for my camera… we were out on a walk by…
this reminds me of something I would find in Bolinas where I used to live. last week we went out to Chalco quite a few times. I haven’t been there in a long time & it is even prettier than I remember. last week walking with my mom & Sophia we discovered little fairy gardens in some of the trees & they…
I remember going to the park at the elementary school by my house when I was little. such good memories. Sophia loves going to the park & up until just this summer the park was all about her & I or her & her dad or her & her sister. but now, when we get to the park she wants to meet the other…
