Unimaginable Loss
In a recent OT session, our trauma-informed therapist read a very simple picture book with our child about a baby animal looking for its mama. Afterward, she asked our kiddo who was understandably quite upset by the story to draw her feelings. You can clearly see the head, big eyes and wavy mouth. When asked what all the other squiggly lines were, our daughter said, "Tears."

It's The Little Things
While struggling through the second consecutive frigid snow day with three kids at home, I needed this reminder from my eldest that Craig and I are doing something right as spouses and as parents. It may be my current fragile emotional state, but I almost cried reading this sentence.

NOLA New Year
With the kids' winter break over two weeks long, we decided to take a little trip south again. This year we ventured to New Orleans where, while overcast, we enjoyed weather much milder than at home. We planned each day carefully and had mostly fun times, despite a few tantrums.
12/30: fly to NOLA, Story Land at City Park, po boys
12/31: Cafe du Monde, LA Children's Museum, Bourbon Street
01/01: Gulfport, MS - meet grandma and grandpa, Ocean Adventures park, playground, beach
01/02: French Quarter Kids tour, ride the streetcars
01/03: Canal Street Ferry, cemeteries, Destrahan Plantation, fly home
Fun facts about this trip...
... our rental apartment shared a wall with this night club. We basically partied into the wee hours each night vicariously.
... we learned that Ella likes smoked salmon.
... at the sight of a beach, our son instantly strips naked.
... a shout out to French Quarter Kids Tours for an awesome private tour tailored to our kids' needs and at a very discounted rate.
... Emilia was given beads just for being her joyful herself.
... Ella touched and fed a dolphin. #mamaisjealous
