Life is gritty, messy, chaotic and imperfect. I want to remember every moment of it!
Grandma Rocha always gets to hear about our adventures at MOSI and this summer she got to experience the fun first hand. We could stay there all day and pretty much did. The guys ditched us a few hours into our day to watch Iron Man in the IMAX theater.

There was tons of good food all prepared in love by the hands of our talented family chefs. I was so proud of myself up to this point for keeping my emotions under control and not shedding a tear. I have been preparing myself for about a year, knowing that […]
All through graduation week I kept thinking about that Dr. Seuss book. It just fit with my thoughts and feelings preparing for Tori’s big day. Pride at her accomplishments thus far. Excitement about all the possibilites and options she will have. Fear at knowing my time of being able to direct her is ending. I know my influence will still […]

On Friday as family begin trickling in we all went to a Jamaican restaurant. Live music and jerk chicken set the mood for lots of laughs and great conversation. We are loud by nature so we had to make sure we found a restaurant that would match our acoustic level. We did not get kicked out so the night was […]
