Two days ago I mentioned that it was our niece Olivia’s birthday. I included a cute photo of her to go with the post, what I said was one of my favorites. But I have some other favorites involving Olivia, and in most cases these photos include Ella.

Take this one for instance. So often you’d find these two cousins with their arms around each other. And, all biases aside, can you find two more photogenic kids than these two?

Switching subjects, most of my readers likely know I have another blog, one devoted to my work on the subject of kindness. I have a new kindness class starting in December and am biding my time until then by posting family stories that I connect to kindness. As an example, check out this post about my dad, me, and the racetrack.
