I just dropped Ira off in the playroom at the feeding clinic. He wasn’t crying but then again he didn’t see me leave. When we arrived this morning I was asked to undress Ira so the docs could get an accurate height and weight. He started crying at this very first action. Then I had […]

This picture was taken last summer when my family and I drove through Arkansas on our way back to New York from Texas. I love this image of four generations together. My grandmother raised 11 children. She is 96, almost 97, and still going strong. Whew. It wasn’t so long ago that she was painting […]

A couple months ago Jason asked me if I would be willing to sing and play my ukulele as part of the entertainment for the fair. Flattered and frightened, I said yes.

Our first year in NYC we lived in Manhattan and Sophia was just months old. During her afternoon naps I would climb the ladder, crawl into our queen-sized loft bed and write. During this time I wrote a book for Sophia. The book was a compilation of dreams I have for her. It is an […]
