Jace took this photo out the living room window. The mountain emerges from the clouds adorned in snow. I am still here, plodding through this first trimester.

Our Spencer Cole is 14 already. A sweet, sensitive, goofy and sometimes annoying kid. He will sit beside me while I am visiting and chant in monotone “mama, mama, mama” until I want to laugh and backhand him at the same time. He comes up with the weirdest nicknames (takes after my dad on this […]
