Bad Hair Days

I chopped off more than twelve inches of my hair about two years ago. Just because. I was also going to dye it jet black but I chickened out. And after a few months of getting it cut, I went back to get it cut even shorter. Yes, I know. Sometimes I just can’t contain...

Maribel, Gabe and Caleb

When I’m about to begin telling him about my day or a specific event during my day, Eddie knows he needs to get comfortable. Focused and allocating all attention to what I’m about to describe because it gets detailed. I went to the store is hardly ever enough…I get completely side tracked talking about every...
