This is a weekly series inspired in part by Bob Bennet's song Small Graces.
It doesn't feel right to offer a glimpse at some of the happy moments of our week without also mentioning the horrific events that have been all over the news. The tragedies in Boston, Texas, and China that have devastated so many has left my heart aching with sorrow. I don't really have any words to offer other than I'm deeply sorry and that the residents of those places are in my thoughts and prayers. It's hard to know how to offer any type of concrete support. I know there are a lot of fundraisers going around the web but to keep things simple (and to know with certainty that our funds will be used with integrity) we've chose to make a donation to the Red Cross. You can donate quickly and easily online - small amounts can add up to great ones.

| mini man is always asking to water grass and plants, "because they are really thirsty". i'd like to think i'm improving but i'm pretty sure he's the real reason we've been able to keep house plants alive this last year. |

| big buddy picked me a flower |
 |
| then brought me a whole vase full *if it's not above 80 i can usually be found under a blanket |
