Mary Alice loves to hear stories about “when she was little” at bedtime.

So, here we go again – my best efforts at writing down memories for these amazing children.

We have amazing neighbors that live across the cul-de-sac from us. Mandy is also a photographer, so last year we traded Christmas pictures. My goodness – what a blessing to have someone who can hop in the car and grab stunning photos of your family in less that 15 minutes.

That’s one of the lovely things I want them to remember – neighbors. Meet them, be there for them, share your flour and your garden and your burdens with them. They will return every bit, ten fold.
