Summer In January


What belongs to her lives in me.  And the heart of my daughter brings out the little girl in me.  Twirls have never felt so lovely and never looked so fun.  The kiss of sunshine was gentle on a bright day and we were in little girl heaven.   So as we prayed against the floods in Brisbane we send a little dry love to our family and friends as they do their best to stay safe and dry.

And to our friends around this country covered in snow, we mail you a ray of warmth as our 70 degree weather soothes our goosebumps from the days before.  Southern California, though often crowded, cranky, and over priced, is rather beautiful, quiet and peaceful on our Summer Day in January!

    Thank you!! We could use a little of that sunshine here in Seattle. Grey skies, and rain. That's all we got for the weeks to come :)

    Yeah, it was beautiful out today. Took the twins around the block in their wagon and they waved to everyone...

    Love the pictures. Your daughter looks just like you.

    I wish we had weather like that here...I could desperately use a nice day to be outside with the little one. I'm not to keen on all this snow after Christmas. Such pretty photos!!

    This definitely brightened my day with the depressing weather we've been having in Pa.

    She is just gorgeous, and I'm totally jealous of the weather. I used to live in San Diego and I certainly miss the warm winters for sure.
