Fruit and Veggie Christmas

We joined a local farm's organic produce weekly delivery service and got our first box of fruits and veggies today - along with recipes and a weekly farm report. I am so excited! Everything in the box is just beautiful, and the apple we sampled was amazing. It pretty much rocks.

Firery Sunset on Ash Wednesday

We stayed at the park until the last possible moment.

The sun was setting as we walked back home on the bike trail along the river. Toby was in tears the whole way - repeatedly telling me that he and his stuffed "baby kitty" wanted to go back to the park. I told him we had to go home because it was getting dark. He pleaded with me to, "Make it daytime again Mama. Make it daytime again."


I love him so much. I wish I could give him everything that he wanted, but know in my heart, that I can't and that I shouldn't, and yet, I still feel guilty about things that I know are stupid to feel guilty about, like making my son leave the park at the end of the day.

If I could, I'd like to give up guilt for lent.

I took some pictures of Oliver yesterday, with the hope that one would turn out well enough for the new website he's been working on.

These were taken in Toby's room against his closet door. I'd like to take some more in natural light, but he's not usually home when there's natural light. If the sun's out, he's at the law firm! Maybe next Sunday?

Here are my favorites from yesterday's photo shoot:
