rollin' rollin'

my little boy has officially rolled his way to his 4-month b-day! he is a champ at rolling from his back to his tummy (but only on his right-hand side!), and he finally stumbled upon the tummy to back roll this evening.

even though there were threats of freezing rain and the big "ice storm of 2007" ... we were warm and cozy at abuelita's house, watching cole roll and roll.

happy MLK Jr. day. i hope we all take a moment to appreciate the difference one person can make ... and i look forward to teaching that lesson to my son one day soon.

peace.

remembering paris

happy new year 2007.

as i close out 2006, i can't help but remember last year's celebration. we rang in 2006 in paris with our dear friends lindsey and chad ... lindsey was 5-months pregnant and we were busy conceiving our little bean.

i'll always remember walking along the river seine to notre dame, discovering cozy restaurants, and devouring chocolate crepes. and, i'll never forget the sweet kiss of promise that lindsey and chad shared under the eiffel tower at the stroke of midnight.

however, 2006 had something very different in store for us. in the midst of so many beautiful gifts, we lost our dear lindsey and faced the painful reality of saying goodbye too soon.

i'm so grateful for paris. remembering you, linds.
