Zeb's Last Year as a Teen
Yeah, he was cute as a little guy (says this totally un-biased mamma). But he’s even more awesome now! How do kids do that? They just keep getting better and better… Anyway, I digress. Today is our Zebulon’s 19th birthday. And we are so thankful for him. Zeb’s sense of adventure and eagerness to…

I think I am taking my job as an employee working for a distributed company very seriously. When people hear what my family is up to, we often get raised…

While I was blown away by the beauty of the moon and stars last night, I think my favorite part of the eclipse was knowing that so many people I love – all around the world – were looking at the same moon and appreciating it, too. It made me feel closer to my loved…
