Good Things Come
We’re exhausted. Well, at least the grownups in this family are…I don’t think Nora has any concept of exhaustion that goes from day-to-day. No, she is a well of youthful energy, which sounds ridiculous for me to say given that I’m not that old. I don’t think. Or maybe I am. I’m certainly old enough…

Of course, the season for fresh, local asparagus is short everywhere, but it seems it…

Looking for Words of Wisdom
I’ve mentioned here and there that Nora is a shy and relatively slow to approach person, but I haven’t spent a huge amount of time talking about it aside from the post about feeling bad for not standing up for her. Chris and I were hoping this would just be a phase that she would…
