blessed.

Cody blessed Vivi in the living room of the home where he grew up. She wore tiny gold ballet slippers, a handmade flower, a tiny crystal bracelet and a dress crocheted by a grandmother in Arizona. It was all perfection. She is perfection.

babbled-the weird things we say as parents.

My first post is up at babble and you betcha I’m starting it off right with poop and pantsless kid talk!

rollercoasters, my first born and getting old.
