{a good, long life}
Last night, after her amazing quinceañera birthday party, Cory died in her sleep. How neat that we were able to celebrate the sweet blessing she was to our family before she went.

The sun is warm
And I sleep.
I dream about when I was young.
I chased snowflakes in winter.
And ran through the grasses in spring.
I still bark when I want to.
And tonight I might howl at the moon.
But now the sun is warm.
And I sleep.
And dream.

Our girls have had colds all week. It doesn't affect Kate all that much anymore, but poor Caroline has had a hard time eating and napping all week. To try and clear her up some, I turned on the shower to full heat and steamed up the bathroom. I got this interesting shot of the girls' reflections in the foggy mirror.

Here's a clearer shot of our rolly-polly Caroline as a bonus.

Just 100 days to go in Project 365!
