I’ve spent various amounts of time developing this blog.  Throughout the years it’s had different tones from very serious to very not-so but it’s always held the same mission and that’s to share the world as I see it to the boys.  Long after I’m gone I hope they get the chance to read this and reflect on their life growing up…not through the faded memories of time but through the vivid, albeit crazy, lens of their father’s eye.

With that said, I came across this quote by Maya Angelou yesterday and I thought about it a lot while we were going on our “bear hunt” in the woods at Papa and Grammy P’s farm.

“I don’t believe an accident of birth makes people sisters or brothers. It makes them siblings, gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood is a condition people have to work at.”
