"There's just no accounting for happiness, or the way it turns up like a prodigal who comes back to the dust at your feet having squandered a fortune far away." (Jane Kenyon)

A Welcome Mess

There are few things I enjoy more in life than giving cake to a one-year-old on their birthday. I love watching the exploration, the unexpected privilege, the "are you sure I can do this?" look on their face, the pure delight, the play, the sweet beginning of childhood.

Oh my goodness- Brian Owen and I loved these pictures! Declan is so adorable, going for the oreo. I love his hair, I love his eyes and I love his hands thrown up like in happiness.
