About once a week I wake up full of anxiety. I feel overwhelmed and scared, like I am walking a tightrope and on the verge of falling off. These feelings are caused by a desire to get this whole thing right. I have never wanted to get something so right in my life. It's just cause I love em' so much....SO much. And then, I have to remind myself of the masterpiece (see "Parenthood" entry in March), and that this isn't a puzzle to "get right". I don't want a "color by number" creation. I want a unique and gorgeous canvas full of intricate details and color. I guess I am afraid of ending up with a big brown mess. But then, I look at them, and realize that is so impossible. And, I feel better.

Owen continues to be our little man of many expressions.

Dana MADE this burp cloth...again, impressive. And, it doubles as a dress for Ruby. Perfect.
The photographer (of these and many of our pictures on the blog in case I haven't mentioned that lately) and one of his favorite subjects.

I love seeing the photos of Ruby and Owen - even if it has only been 5 days since we last saw the four of you in person. Their personalities really show here.
