Behind Closed Doors

It has been a hard week at Mom's school. One of Mom's former teachers passed away in an accident. As adults, we can only do so much in our efforts to shield children from the pain that is caused by the outside world. If only that were enough. Sign in to see full entry.

Her Own Woman

My sister and niece were here this weekend. We had a terrific time. Is it a bad sign that at ten months old, Lura has already learned to shake her head, "No,"? LOL. It seems like Lura will be a strong-willed, independent, woman. That is a terrific blessing. I will let you in on a little secret. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Times Such As These

My sister and niece Lura are coming next week. I am so excited! Lura is starting to pull herself up. She may walk without ever crawling.

In Motion
