In the space of time it takes to blink, you may find your babies doing things like moving up to high school, or pitching their first Little League game. You may also find that a week no longer is enough to do all the things that need to be done, let alone a day. I love watching my kids, seeing the stories they create, the carefree attitude or the serious business of being a kid. Despite the white hair that seems to be chronicling the passage of time, it amazes me how time stands still until the big moments come and you stand back and reflect on how all these little day to day memories define us. Life here really is short. So if everyone wonders where I have dropped off to because I do not keep up very well, each day I am stroking the paintbrush of my life, and watching the masterpiece unfold. This entails many things, that I am sure most of you also choose to do, like songs and stories, games, car rides to too many places, Little League, endless chores, laughing and goofing off to time outs and tears. Learning, growing and stretching. I love my life and the people I share it with. Here are a few pictures that share some of my life.

Maddy looks beautiful. I can't believe how grown up she is. I can't wait for Johnathan and Rosie to do sports. So fun!
