We wish you a merry Christmas...

Why I don't play with toys from China.

It is amazing how the magic returns to holidays when seen through the eyes of a child. Micah's first Halloween was so special and it was so wonderful to take him around to the homes of family and capture those precious first moments on film. It was nice to gather candy in a basket again and I must confess that Micah ate very little of it. The entire holiday season is proving to be so wondrous as he becomes a special part of Felicia and I's traditions.

Karen and Micah

Karen is as close to being a mom to me as anyone I've ever known. We enjoyed Thanksgiving day with her and her amazing family and it was an afternoon filled with warmth and happy people. It was the exact way I wanted Micah's first one to be. It was the first time Felicia got to meet her daughter Andrea and it was a very nice experience.

I love the smile on Karen's face whenever she holds Micah.

What more could I want for Christmas?

Shortly after this photo Micah entered therapy and is recovering nicely from the trauma of learning that his mom is actually Santa Claus. I hope he'll be alright once he discovers his dad is actually the Easter Bunny...
