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 […]
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? Harper has grown and matured and become an amazing young person. She is calm, watchful, thoughtful, and loyal, with a side of […]
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 […]
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 […]

Jameson Grey turned eight years old on June 3. What?! There are countless things I love about my son, but do you know something that is really special? When he responds, “I love you, too,” he says it with enthusiasm and with a tonal uptick at the end. It’s as if his love is so […]
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 […]
