I'm adding this photo to my Favorite Pictures album. Don't try to stop me. I love everything about this photo. (Well... except for my face. =D) He's 11 and almost as tall as I am. But he'll always be my baby.(Even though there is nothing baby-ish about him.) Every now and then he just comes over to me and allows himself to be ...

What I know
I make them take this same picture with me over and over. Every single time we go to Disneyland.And we go a lot. The beauty is that they do it.Every time.For me.

Those little things that you might not guess about me when you first meet me. Or even if you have known me a long time. Those are the things that intimately ...
Bet you didn’t know…
I've got my mom with me this weekend. That means, of course, that I'm cooking Cuban. Preparing for Thanksgiving next week and looking forward to Noche Buena next month got me thinking of pork.
