harper quinn is 3 today. i don’t think i can properly explain how full of life this child is. everywhere she goes, people know her by name….she’s pretty unforgettable. when she sees tom or i, she screams *pop* or *meem* at the top of her lungs, runs to us and squeezes us around the neck...

the memories are sweet, but the fact remains, that some of our loved ones live too far away. it’s hard to say goodbye knowing that it may be quite a while before we see each other again. we’ve been doing better in the past year or so. tom and i spent 9 days in washington...
