Finnian's Journey: Fire Season

"Y'all - don't miss it. Don't get so caught up in what your sweet baby is doing or not doing. Don't obsess about this step or the next step or the one after that or what is going to happen twenty years down the line. Because one day you'll look at baby pictures and think about how adorable that baby was and how all you can remember is therapy and you can't even remember what her hair smelled like.

So, ENJOY your baby. It doesn't matter when they walk or crawl or talk. It matters that they are here and that you love them and that they know it.

Just don't miss it."

Fire Season

The day got away from me before I could post a meaninful entry, but I'll say this: Fire Season in Southern California has officially begun. The Santa Ana winds kicked up yesterday and with it, the fires. We are fine where we are, but the air is awful and it's raining ashes outside. We have friends in neighboring towns who evacuted their homes today because they are so close to the fires :(

I'll try to post some pics tomorrow.
