Extension in Yellow

Jeff and I live in a lovely little place we call "The Duplex." It has its charms, and its...not-so-charms, too. Occasionally we talk about moving, then we start looking around and realize again how much we love The Duplex.

When we moved in - nearly three years ago now - we were amused to find that our plates were the same color as the cupboards. An exact match. Just another little sign that The Duplex and us were meant to be.

Cole: A Birth Story.

I have a journal from 8th grade where I wrote about how much I admired my friend Tiffani. I just thought the world of her. We procrastinated homework by playing Boggle and worked on school projects late into the night. Sleepovers, deep talks, and a shared secret liking of silly romantic novels.

I still do think the world of her now - and I have never admired her more than last night, while documenting her first child being born. Cole didn't have the smoothest entrance into the world, but he is adorable and doing well now.

Tiffani did tell me she wants a rematch at Banana Grams - when she's not in labor.
