You've now inspired me for an OPAM-yea!! I have a quick question...I know you have on your blog what camera you use---but I was curious if you took classes or if you just learned your camera and the rest is all just your great raw talent? :) I'd love to figure out better photography for my jewelry as well as taking better pics of my kids!! Thanks, Amanda Hi Tara,

Anyway our theory is now we're thru the toddler years our bod's are falling to bits because finally they can... (and our brains are all fuzzy- it's fuzzy mummy syndrome and it needs treating with lots of cafe time...). But I hope your migraines get better/fixed soon, that must be shattering... Your DH reads your blog! mine doesn't (luckily!). It's not the same as superglue, but there is a massive gecko here that is very attracted to my macbook pro and its big beautiful glowy 17" screen. It sneaks across the ceiling about 9pm each night and pees or poops down on it! Now you would THINK I would remember to close it and watch out more often than I do wouldn't you? Never mind, no permanent damage... yet...

I don't know if it is tension, allergy, stress, or what but I am so tired of having a headache! Hang in there!

These years do seem to sort of fly by -- the teen years go a little slower, perhaps because they are so much more challenging, at least with some kids. There is some sadness to these times, but it is our job as parents to grow them up, not to keep them little. And especially with a child like McKenna, so many parents make the mistake of keeping their "special" child overprotected and infantile, when they need more than anything to learn as much independence as possible. So good for you and Jeff, for not letting sentiment or fear or any of your other own needs get in the way of raising your beautiful kids into admirable adults! :) Congratulations to Drew and McKenna for graduating!

He is Indian and comes from a very long family tradition of Ayurvedic doctors. I've never met a doctor that understood the body like he does. But be warned, he takes a slow, gentle approach to balancing health that requires some adjustment to diet and routine and a number of years. I had a lot of toxins in my liver five years ago when I first saw him, and I was hot all the time (not to mention cranky). After five years on his diet and drinking two liters of a herbal tea I make every morning I am now cool as cucumber and much more peaceful. My skin has cleared and I feel so much better. I don't know if he could help you, but since he is in LA, I have to mention him to you. His name is Vaidya Mishra http://www.vaidyamishra.com or call 1-888-974-2584. Tell him I sent you. My thoughts are with you. I hope you're feeling better soon. Since you live in Orange County, you should look up my favorite doctor in the world.

My daughter is going to be 13 in October, is almost as tall as me and is starting 7th grade in the fall. I just look at her and think where did my baby? It seems like she was 3 years old when I put her to bed last night and she woke up this morning almost a teenager. And I know tomorrow she will be graduating from high school and going off to college. It's crazy insane how fast time flies by. Kids grow up way too quickly, don’t they?
