Here’s the better shot I promised. Little Sammy went from a fuzzy gray clump to this beautiful creature literally in days, and now he is gone. Lately Mercy has been bringing me “eggs” (random toys) to hatch for her. We checked out Horton Hatches the Egg from the library so I am pretty sure that… Continue reading Because Doug is a superior photographer (and considerably taller)…

Here is a better shot of our little Sammy. I can’t believe how quickly he is growing!
Happy Day–33
As a woman who has given birth twice in the last three years, birthdays are something I view now with a sense of renewed significance.

The hummingbirds usually buzz around the palm trees, but this one seemed intent on visiting the strand of porch lights. At some point, we realized he/she was building a nest, and we decided that his/her name was Sam. I just… Continue reading Our newest neighbor
