Category: For The Birds

I started this blog almost ten years ago because I felt the time with my two sons was flying by. While some capture their memories with pictures, I capture my memories with words.

When I started my blog, Little Chirp was three years old, and Brainy Bird was eight. At present (Fall 2021), Brainy Bird is in his first year of college at the University of South Carolina. Little Chirp is in the eight grade at Willow Wood Junior High in Tomball, TX.
