This week, Dan and I are away on a vacation, the first one with just the two of us since, oh, roughly 2002, save for one night in San Francisco back in '06 and one weekend in Stillwater last December. Because my children won't be with us every waking moment, I decided to re-run some blog posts about them, a few of my favorites from the past 6 years.

I am from Here, the place I was born
From a mom and a dad
From toast or oatmeal for breakfast
From very cold winters
I am from Here
Where there's trees from everywhere
And sun all around
I am from vacations to Nevada
And one international flight
I am from Utah taking my mom away
And very grand birthdays
I am from Here

She wrote this a few weeks ago and it choked me up. God, I love that kid.

And Dan, too. Happy birthday, Baby. We'll have so much fun tonight. I promise. The dollar theater awaits…
