Very beautiful, Robin!
Parenting, is one of the bravest leaps of faith any of us can take. Your children are beautiful.
What a beautiful family. I need to do my writing for Kim, but up until now it has been so painful I will not put it down in type. I do the picture part but not the writing. I wrote and wrote for years and years and then I destroyed all of my journals. I even burned the wedding pictures from my first marriage in the fire place 34 years ago I was so devastated. A few weeks back I realized that I had transposed all of the entries onto some old thick square cd’s and I also still have the thing they goes into the usb port so the material can be uploaded. I will try to write this week, but I just do not know if I will be able to pull it off. Robin, I love your profession. I am still teaching at 73, but once I really retire I am going to go into nursing homes and use my English background to scribe family histories for those elderly who have no one close to them to share the memories with. I have dreamed of doing this for so many years and it is almost time. Our school is closing at the end to 12-13, so then I can do it. genie
I love the cat and its peculiar stripe on its back, the coffee just waiting! The slide show is just the right pace and reminds me of the sporty days of one's own children when young. Lovely memories you have in store!
Nice work my friend...your pictures tell such a story, and those kids are pretty gorgeous.
Have a great week.

"just waking up and deciding to face the day"...Love that line.
And your images are super. I especially like the kitty by the table/coffee cup.
Beautiful post Robin,
Love the slide show of your boy.
And what a beautiful quote about having a child.
You always have the best quotes and cut-to-the-heart-of-things writings.
Cheers,
Robin you've written this so beautifully. Yes, bravery comes in so many forms. How is it that we forget that and judge ourselves? I have to keep reminding myself.
I love your photos. Lovely work on the triptych. I have to try it out myself. I love the family portrait and your cat it gorgeous! :)
