WELCOME TO THE WORLD, DURHAM TYLER!

At the beginning of March, I took our firstborn son, Ben, to California to meet my brother and his wife's, firstborn son, Durham Tyler. One of the ways we welcomed the little guy to the world was with a basket filled with our favorite children's books. Included were the likes of Shel Silverstein's Giving Tree, Sam McBratney's Guess How Much I Love You, All the Places to Love by Patricia MacLachlan and a handful of silly Sandra Boynton board books.

Along with my brother, Rob, and his wife, Kristin, we hope that little Durham will be a life-long learner. We long for him to find joy, adventure and truth in the books that are read to him and that - one day - he will read. We want him to get lost in Story and the Tangles of Love and Loss experienced by our favorite characters: Lucy and Edmund, Pooh and Tigger, Meg and Charles Wallace . . . Our prayer is that Durham will know and live the reality that truth is deeper, richer, and more life-changing that facts will ever be.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD, BABY DURHAM!

We wish you Giving Trees to climb, Wardrobes that lead to imaginary lands, Bridges, and Friends who love you enough to write about your radiance in their webs.
