A Funky Season
I admit, I enjoy Facebook. I'm more of a "lurker" than a "poster" but I do like keeping up with folks and seeing pictures of my friends children and grandchildren. There was a picture that took my breath away yesterday. One of our friends, who also...
Priorities
I am really bad about letting "life" get in the way of some of the things I want to do. My main responsibilities are to be a mom to my boys, a wife to my husband and to be a responsible and trustworthy employee/colleague. But if that is all I do, then I know I will...
There’s Nothing Like…
A great manicure/pedicure. Hearing a baby breathe their first breath. Wading in a creek in the mountains. The comfort of your home. A good day's work. Seeing the smile of your firstborn...watching him turn into a man. The smell of Pinon in the mountains of Santa Fe....

My Firstborn
My life truly began 17 years ago...when my firstborn came into the world. I remember everything about that day as if it had happened moments ago. Seeing my son raised up by the doctor, my new son breathing in air for the first time... his cries were music to my ears....
I Should Have Known
"Christian's" knee has been swollen since January. Bleed after bleed early this year and it just never seems to get back to a "normal" size. He has needed to depend on his wheelchair more than I have liked, but when his classroom is at one end of the...
A Great Dad
