renewing

I haven't blogged in like a year. I was inspired by Emma to start again. it's her birthday this week, she'll be 13! having a birthday in south Louisiana in September has proven to be an iffy situation. it seems like every year there is a hurricane or some other tropical disturbance to interfere with her party or events. I feel bad for her, but i hope she knows that the weather or any other situation that occurs during her birthday in no way should diminish the fact that she is an awesome, lovable person. Happy Birthday Emma, Daddy loves you very much. xoxoxo
