Dear Damian, You are now 8 years old!! You are such a “big kid” now and I love it! You love skating and playing outside, but you also love your video games! Minecraft is your fav, and even though I’m not big on screen time I like how you can create things on there and…
Dear Elijah, It has been one year since you came ferociously but blissfully on a quiet Kauai morning. I can’t even explain to you how much has changed since then. Not just our family, but the whole world it seems! One day you will hear about 2020 and all of it’s chaos! But for now…

Lately I feel I’m in constant motion, moving from one project to the next, flowing like a stream across a beautiful landscape.

I write this through the brain fog of an intense cold. Damian came down with it on the day of his first birthday party (go figure), and now I’m in the thick of it. I can’t remember the last time I’ve had one like this, but ughhh. It has been a busy last week or…
Dear Damian, Today is your first Christmas Eve. I stayed up late last night wrapping presents for you and your sister and it was so much fun. I know you don’t understand the whole concept yet, but I’m still so excited to watch you unwrap your gifts, even if you are more interested in eating…
