I mean, wouldn’t it be… Read More
Our second day at Disney World was all about Epcot. And this is where we met up with once-online-but-now-real-life friend and photographer, Sennu Maria Keith, who came armed with a very big camera and an even bigger dose of joy and enthusiasm… Ready to take pictures of our humongous family for the entire day.

Today we celebrate a most bittersweet day. Today would have been Esther’s 4th birthday. We will make a cake today. We will think of her. Miss her. But no candles will be blown out. No presents opened. No squeals of delight. Instead, we grieve the loss of a beloved daughter and a cherished sister. But it is impossible to stay… Read More
