Diamond Flap Hat
Since Parker no longer has any hair to keep his head warm, it was time for a new hat. I got it finished just in time for the snow.

Warm and fuzzy
Snow makes me feel at peace. We were graced with a healthy blanket of the fluffy stuff and Parker, Skylah and I have really been enjoying it. There’s just something about the way it makes the world feel peaceful and quiet, and it always deserves its own special attention. It’s quite a production to get Parker suited up in a snowsuit, with boots, mittens and a hat. There is usually at least one item he refuses to put on, then when he realizes it would help him to have on every article he really shines. Hopefully I will have some pictures of him in it before all of the snow melts.

Red sky in morning
Parker wakes up at just the right time to catch each beautiful sunrise. It’s wonderful to wake up to the pink light filling my room.

Fun in the sun
I really need to work on posting more often. Even though I’ve been doing a million things, I still can’t figure out what to post sometimes. I am in the middle of quite a few projects and it’s way more fun to post about stuff that is done than show the things I am halfway through. So I will post about Parker’s trip to the new playground that we live near. It’s huge! Almost too big for him because he felt the need to run and hide from the other children that were playing. It was all a little overwhelming for him until the other kids left and he was able to truly explore without worry.
I took a few photos in the backyard of the beautiful light that was blanketing the landscape.

Happy home
So I’m not usually one to post personal things, but today is a special day. I am moving, with Parker, to our own place. For those of you who don’t know, Justin and I are no longer in a relationship. Even though our relationship didn’t work out I am proud to say that we have a wonderful, beautiful (or handsome), incredible son. Something about me changed when I had Parker, and maybe I didn’t know it then, but I know it now. He is the reason I am trying so hard at everything that I do. I am putting myself through medical transcription school so that I can continue to raise and stay home with Parker. In my mind it is the only situation that I am comfortable with. My mom worked really hard to raise my brother and I, taught us so much about life and the values in it. I’ve made some mistakes in my life and all of them good, because they have taught me something and made me who I am today. I hope that Parker can grow up to understand the value of his own self-happiness, and to recognize when things aren’t right, and to do something about it.
Today, I move on.
Eating a fresh apple from one of the two trees in our backyard. Yum!
Having a blast on the swing set that was given to us.
Watching the neighbor’s alpaca farm behind our house.
And our beautiful new home!
