a poem for miss eiley


Last night, my mom got home from work and was playing with Eiley. "Eiley, you need a song," she said. Then Eiley scooted across the room, and Mama started typing furiously on her computer. I thought she was composing an email or playing Typing Maniac, but then about five minutes later, she read this:

I know a little girl named eiley
Who most of the time is smiley…

she plays and talks and naps
she sits on peoples laps

she gives high fives and waves hello
and crawls determined, steady and slow.

On some occasion she might be a grump
There could be a reason, perhaps a head bump?

A load in her pants or too little sleep
No one could expect her temper to keep.

But the smile that wins out on this little face
Is the smile of ALL smiles, it’s our eiley grace.

It's not a song just yet, but it's a lovely little poem. Feel free to write music for us, someone.


Eiley and her Fee Faw!

Coast to Coast

I recently posted a series of photos of my parents with my daughter at the Pacific coast. Shortly thereafter, they came to visit us on the other coast. In just over 48 hours we tried to accomplish a whirlwind tour of MidCoast Maine. This included a visit to the Portland Headlight, the most photographed lighthouse in the area. So, I had to photograph it:



But surprise, surprise, I was more inspired by the beautiful relationship blossoming between Sofia and her grandparents ("Big Mama" and "Big Papa"). Props to her Grandma Nora for finding her the adorable sun hat. So here's a series of the three of them on the Atlantic coast.
