{Santa Monica, CA ~ the pier}
On Sunday, we headed back to the pier. We let the kids pick what they wanted to do and they chose to go back ~ that has to be a good sign, right?! Brian and sweet baby J chose the Ferris Wheel. She was so nervous. It was so sweet watching her cuddle up to Brian as the...
{Santa Monica, CA}
Friday after work, we packed up and headed for cooler weather. 117 degrees - Phoenix 74 degrees - Santa Monica It's not brain surgery... We woke up early (well, the kids woke up early and we were stuck shared a room so there we were...) Yes, I'm hiding...

African Violets…
I thought of you today. My office was full of African Violet Blooms. They don't like to be moved. Every time I move them, it takes about 2 years for them to bloom again. I can empathize with that. The blooms reminded me of your beautiful hands. Hands that were always...
