Lickity Split.

Lickity Split.

We’ve had our first good snow since bringing Willow home and might I say…she is in heaven. I plopped her down in a drift taller than her, and she buried her paws, then her head, and plowed a pathway ...

Snow Day.

Snow Day.

I don’t remember very many snow days growing up, and with as much as I loved school, I’m not sure that they were a cherished thing for me. (Nerd, I know.) But last night, when I read the tweet ...

Toothless in Colorado.

Guess what happened yesterday? I picked up a snaggletooth from the bus stop. I begged him to stop wiggling the darn thing until we could get home and take a picture. He barely made it. When I tied his ...

Gymnastics and how bad I suck at indoor photography.

Gymnastics and how bad I suck at indoor photography.
