Once in awhile.....

Once in awhile,
right in the middle of an ordinary life,
love gives us a "fairy tale".

Elle, today Papa and I celebrate our 1 year anniversary......
It hasn't been perfect but it's been so very very good......
In sickness and in health - I love you Dale !!!

We've "got this"

Greet the sun.....


Greet the sun.....
Welcome the moon.....
Wish upon a star.

Monkey, 2 months ago our "adventure of a lifetime" was about to begin......
We left Florida to spend 2 months in Chicago getting to know you....
What we didn't know then was how much we would fall in love with you.....
A love that grows each and every day.....
As the time comes to head back to Florida I am trying not to be sad about leaving 
but happy about having the opportunity to have been with you these past two months.....
I promise Monkey, that I will never give up hope that one day we will all live close enough that if Mimi  needs a hug, your arms will only be a short distance away.
