{peonies}

Yesterday, Bre Ann and Jase invited Aliza and I out to Northwest Farms to pick some peonies and take some pictures. There weren’t a ton of flowers in bloom, but they were beautiful! Bre Ann gave me some of these lovely flowers as part of my birthday present! Thank you, they are [...]

Aliza Grace is growing. 9 months old today. It is crazy to think that she has been out of my belly longer than she was in there! How does it go by so fast? She is an amazing little girl. It is such a privilege to be her mama.
Let’s see…this month [...]

for hugs before I sleep…

My little hands are tiny now
but yours will serve to guide me…
And when I’m [...]
