Bigger

I often feel like there's a tightrope stretched between brilliance and insanity.  Some days we teeter toward the wrong side, the place where her illness screams in the silence and my own throat is sore from the effort of not yelling back.
We've felt our way through a full-spectrum, situations in which we've discovered the biggest sorrows and the purest joys.  These experiences have given our lives shape and depth, grown us into things wise and wonderful.  Most of all, though, our hearts have been trained to look for bright sides.  It can be exhausting prospecting for joy, even when you’re certain it’s there to be found.  It's work, but with rewards.  Drilling down through moments proves it, every time.  For us, the camera and the keyboard guide perspective and glorify truth.  And the truth is, brilliance is bigger.

Jenni Baby,
I do not possess the "tightrope" strtched between brilliance and isanity. Grandma Sandy tells me I've got more like a piece of cooked spaghetti.
AND speaking of BIGGER...by this time next year, Tucker's hands should be about the size of mine. Look at those suckers! He's TWO isn't he???
