"a portrait of each of my children, once each week, in 2014"

Cruz: We had lots of bonding time with Daddy working on the house all weekend.  Mila took good long naps Saturday and Sunday and we did some painting, played some baseball, and built some towers.  My favorite part of the weekend, though, was our long leaf walk on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.  You told me that your teachers said, "When the leafs fall, that means it's fall."

Mila: The leaves indeed fell this weekend and we had some fun in a big ole pile of them yesterday.  You didn't quite know what to think at first, but soon loved the way crunched in your hands.  You squealed and smiled and I'm convinced you could have sat in that pile all afternoon long.
