news

This was the day my parents drove down to Portland to let us know the news.

The cancer was back and there was nothing to be done about it.

From this moment on it became a waiting game.

2.5 years later and now she is gone. 

I still can't believe it. The time absolutely flew

However sad the circumstances were when I took these, I absolutely love this set.

My mom, looking so beautiful and peaceful- as always. In one frame organizing her wallet, in another, her spider pin she loved to wear during halloween season. My dad looking pensive, there is a lot there on his mind no doubt.

Val + Sonja

This was taken earlier this month. I found them cuddling together on her bed. Is there anywhere safer in the world than in the arms of your grandmother? 

Hard to believe she is gone.

Oh, how she loved her precious Sonja!

My mother, my best friend, my light...

Valerie Anne Dyer

I am going to take the next week and repost photos in honor of her.

Halloween was one of her favorite holidays so I am starting off my week of Valerie with this fun post.

Enjoy.

Summer in London

Summer 2013 is still a ways off, but we are already getting excited for it. Last year we skedaddled on out of London to avoid the crazy-town brought on by the Olympics. Even though we were gone for most of the season, we did find a moment to enjoy some of London with the blessed sunshine. The girls even swam in the Serpentine, yes it was cold, eeks! They didn't last long. 

Enjoy a few shots from last summer. And get excited for 2013!!!

Maggie Baby

I am back in the states for a bit and had time to visit with my old friends in Portland. This little gem is Maggie. She is a dream baby. We spent the night at her house, and never once heard a peep out of her... other than angelic coos and giggles. 
(I'd like to take her back to London with me)
