About Me

My photo
I'm a writer turned stay-at-home mom to the most wonderful little boy in the world. Two years ago, our son was diagnosed with Congenital Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy; I was diagnosed with the adult-onset version shortly thereafter. Though marked by a miniscule genetic flaw, our family's story is still much like everyone else's--always loving, oftentimes comical, and sometimes heart-breaking. But there are a million wonderful, funny moments to temper the few bad ones. This is not a "woe-is-us" blog full of sadness. It's a place to read about the adventures of a mom and her music-milkshake-cars-animals-grandparents-popcorn-playground-pool-lovin' son, the joy we find in the everyday, and the blessings that a certain little blue-eyed boy has brought to so many people. And it's a reminder to enjoy the feel of your toes in the grass.

Picture me happy!

From the first moment Nate told me he was consolidating my anniversary-birthday-Christmas-Valentine's Day (and every other holiday) present into one gift I would love, I was a 'wishin, and a 'hopin', and a 'prayin...


...for this.



So I could get beautiful, blurry, bokeh'd backgrounds, like this.




And focus on the small details, like this.



And best of all, capture more moments exactly like this.


Bear with me as I forget, and forget (and forget again) that this beast of a camera is the exact opposite of my little back pocket point-'n-shoot. I know it'll take me a while to figure it out...it took me a good half-hour just to figure out how to attach the strap, which doesn't bode well for my abilities. But I already love how it fits in my hands, even if the weight of it around my neck is going to make me stooped before my time. The hubs did good. : )
