Just like that, Jameson went from being my little guy to being an elementary school graduate and an eleven year old! Here is what he had to say about things last week when we celebrated this great kid: Favorite color: purple (this also happens to be his future middle school’s color) Favorite food: sirloin steak […]
Greetings from this little, quiet corner of the world. We are well, despite having disappeared from this space for a long while. I can hardly believe another May has come to a close and that we have lived and worked through another academic year. Kids’ birthdays are right around the corner, and summer is upon […]
June and July are already in the rear-view mirror. This might have been the fastest summer on record. August came in blazing, literally, with hundred degree days and wildfires. Thankfully, our high desert still gifts the relief of cooler nights and dawns. Otherwise, it seems best right now to tuck inside with a puppy and […]
As both educators and parents, Jason and I know well the value of summer. Summers give us a well-needed respite after the turbulence and stress of the school year, but they also give us undivided family time. Over time, our summers have evolved as activities and interests change and as the kiddos get older. And […]
Twelve years old … what? This beautiful human is officially a tween, with now less than 365 days before losing the w and becoming a full-fledged teen. Time is a thief, isn’t it?

A whole entire decade old! I cannot believe it but, alas, here we are. Jameson Grey was born on a beautiful June morning and came out gorgeous, snuggly, and calm. He continues to be those things, although his calm is frequently interrupted with urges to shoot hoops, play hide and seek with the dog, bother […]
Hello there! Happy Labor Day Weekend. Is it summer or fall where you are? Around here’s it’s been mostly summer … lots of 90+ degree days. But, we have had some glimpses of a cool-down, and I have my fingers, toes, and elbows crossed that autumn isn’t too far away. Life has changed completely since […]
My first born is officially a tween. Like everyone says, time has wings. Harper was born on a smoky day in 2012. Wildfires burned in the Colorado foothills, and the skies were hazy. This is something that my family remembers well from Harper’s birth, though I don’t recall it at all. I was in another […]
Sweet Jameson is another year older. We celebrated this kiddo yesterday with a Japan-themed birthday. Jameson continues to be a loving person who hugs tightly and giggles a lot. He likes to play with friends but always looks forward to coming home. Jameson, welcome to your last year as a single-digits aged kid. You are […]
