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 […]

Happy 11th Birthday, Harper!

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 […]

Happy 9th Birthday, Harper!

Harper joined the word at 9:39 p.m. on June 11, 2012. Wildfires were ablaze in the foothills, and it was darn hot outside. At least, that’s what everyone tells me. I don’t remember that part at all. I just remember this baby girl arriving and rocking my world. For many years, it had been Jason […]

After his birth, Jameson Grey came home from the hospital beneath a double rainbow. If you know him, you know this symbol was fitting. He is the sunshine. At the risk of sounding cliche, I will state that my mom heart cannot believe this kid is seven years old. When I think of him, I […]

Happy 6th Birthday, Jameson!

I love this kid. What’s not to love? He makes all of us smile. He tickles our feet and cracks himself up. He wakes up early, because he can’t wait to begin a new day, ordinary or not. He loves to eat and closes his eyes in ecstasy at good food. He is an expert […]
