Today I FINALLY took down all of the ornaments on the tree. Now if I can get my husband to put the tree away sometime in the next few days, I will be a happy woman.


Peace out, Christmas.

KayTar has gross motor (physical) delays and she also has a poor sense of balance. She is in weekly physical therapy because of this. For Christmas, one of her cousins got a Princess scooter that KayTar wanted to try so badly, but for the life of her she could not keep her balance on it or get the thing to move forward. She was so upset about that scooter, she talked about it for weeks. Last week in PT, she worked on a scooter board and scooted herself all the way from one room to the next successfully, with the therapist holding on to her. Yesterday in our backyard, she got on BubTar's old 3-wheeled Spiderman scooter and made it go all by herself! It was very exciting for her, and for us. I love the way this photo captured the tiniest bit of motion in her right foot, pushing that scooter all by herself, finally.

Heather 8/365


The view from my driveway looking north around 8am...I have no idea what it is doing in my neighborhood...

My husband surprised me with two boxes of my most favorite cookies today. 
I love little thoughtful gestures like this.  
They make me feel warm, fuzzy, and loved ...

I just downloaded pictures from Ben's first trip to Austin.  My sister's boyfriend, Brad, was playing chords and singing, and Ben was strumming.  They were rocking out Pink Floyd and Guns & Roses, fantastically old school.  Too bad his mom didn't get to see it, but don't worry, I got video!

I know I already posted today, but I just HAD to post this one, too.

My sweet baby girl this morning cheezin it up for the camera.

Laura, 8/365



I've been working without my camera these days. As I mentioned earlier, we are renovating, and things frequently get misplaced. I sure wished I had my camera yesterday at dusk on campus yesterday. A late afternoon rain storm (what could have been the beginnings of a tornado) turned the sky bright yellow in one direction, as night was falling all around. The light was bouncing off the buildings, making them appear as though they were on fire. As you can tell, the cell phone pictures do not do justice.

It seems that Heather and I had the same beautiful sky last night!
