Far Away: this weekend has taken me far from the intensity of the last few months. We are celebrating family and connecting with life long friends, people who have followed our daughter’s journey from birth.

Center Stage With Babies: There is a new generation of babies and when they are present, they are center stage. There is a birthday of a precious niece, the sun, the heat and the sea breezes. In another week or so our daughter will be living in her new home. But for just a moment the clock is not ticking and time stands patient as I enjoy this moment of NOW.
