I sit here with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes, as I cannot seem to make myself move a muscle. This is another tribute piece, not much different from one I wrote just weeks ago. Some of this is unchanged as truths and observations needn't be corrected or updated here. That said, this is specifically and uniquely a tribute to the life of Dennis Traynor. He was taken from us all before we would Continue Reading...
Happy Birthday Mom!
Happy Birthday Mom! I am glad that God allowed me to be born into our family. I am so glad I got to grow up with you mom. I am my mother's son, and I couldn't be happier. I hope you have a tremendous birthday and an even better year. Continue Reading...
18 months of twins
The twins, Theodore Jamison and Jacqueline Sophia, were born in the same minute, at 7:45pm on April 20, 2010. Yesterday they turned 18 months old. As I went through folders and folders of pictures, realizing that I have thousands of pictures of the twins, I tried to narrow down my search with pictures from around the 20th each month.

Jacqueline with a huge smile on her face would get so Continue Reading...

The ‘Going to bed’ Parade
This is a piece I shared on Facebook a few weeks back. I thought I would post it to the blog with a few tweaks and updates added in. This routine has worked so well that we have set a routine of sorts for getting the twins to bed each night. In the last few weeks I have tried to be very consistent with the twins and their nap time so they get more sleep. I know this will change too fast but I sure Continue Reading...
Our loss. Heaven’s gain.
This is an update to a post I published back on October 6th. On October 11th, my family and our church family lost another dear friend. Rev. Lafayette Pinckney passed away on October 11th. Although I was very young when I met the Pinckney family I certainly do remember them. I have read some comments written in the social media recently that are touching and come from a perspective far closer Continue Reading...
