I’m going through the Montana pictures and videos and thought you’d enjoy watching Tuley’s first foray in her homemade snow booties.  She hadn’t been out of the house for three days for more than a minute at a time because of the cold, and she was ecstatic, if somewhat tractionless.

Hello friends!  Life’s been busy of late so I’m afraid we’ve sadly neglected you.  Here’s a quick survey of recent Deb ‘n’ Val highlights: My trip to Oaxaca, Mexico, with my mother and sister was a balm and a delight.  We immersed ourselves in art, color, music and sunshine and returned Continue Reading
