What an honor for me to host Addie Zierman here today. Not only is she my friend, she is also one of my favorite voices in the blogosphere right now. No one tells a story like Addie. Her words always bring the truth of my heart to the surface. And I love that I get to share her with you today. * * * Catch. Release. The first critter of the year was a long, thick-bodied salamander that my husband found... Read more

(I’ve missed you in my life TJ’s!) Texts and invitations and play dates and no time to sit around feeling sorry for ourselves We found an apartment we love in a good location with (wait for it) a garage and a... Read more

One Week, Forever, Right Now: A Reflection

Last updated on: October 7, 2012 at 10:48 pm By michaboyett

It’s been one week since we touched ground and saw our boys. One week since we came home from Italy and here we are turning in an application for the second apartment we looked at, which had everything my faithful mother had prayed we’d find, spending Sunday afternoon at that apartment’s neighborhood library (which happens to have an amazing play ground out front), watching August bond with a little boy named Reese and letting them play together for over an...

Italy: A story in pictures

When you travel 24 hours and your guts are all twisted because your kids are alive 24 hours away from you and you may not be able to bear this, and then you drink a cappuccino with a “standing breakfast” and walk outside and this is what says hello… and walking paths look like this… and this is the view out your window in the Tuscany morning. When your traveling companions are seriously this AWESOME…. and you walk with a... Read more

How to say goodbye

Last updated on: October 4, 2012 at 12:21 am By michaboyett

Fifteen months ago, when Chris was offered his new job and we made the decision to move to Austin, my first call was to Jamie, my roommate in college and my maid of honor. She’s lived in Austin for eight years. We both cried on the phone. Never had we thought it would be possible for our kids to be real friends. Her son was born six weeks before August. When August was five weeks old and her little guy... Read more

We made it to San Francisco last night and I will be back in blog mode tomorrow to fill you in on my wild past two weeks. Until then, I’m sharing words from Anna Broadway, one of my first friends in the Bay Area when we moved here three years ago.

If you missed my introduction to her on Monday, find it here. * * * St. Therese of Lisieux, also known as Godʼs little flower, was born in 1873.
