the courageous act of parenting

it is stunning to me how smart and talented the children in my life are.

here's a new batch of photos of little friends.

elias and lillian are the little people raised by rennie and katie in new york; jake is the super son of d and jill who just moved to howard county!; syliva fay is the brand spanking new bundle in the lives of jill and aaron in greenbelt; and izzy is the princess of guilford road, the teenager! (a teenager!) who occupies the phone and attention of liza and eddie in college park.

wish that we could all go out for ice cream this very night and laugh and tell funny jokes and giggle and gang up on your parents.
