My Three Sons




A wonderful artist in California just sent me these drawings of the boys. I always knew that I wanted portraits of Cole, Carson and Quinn, but I didn't have the right person until I went back to Los Angeles over spring break and ran into Nancy Julson-Rieley's work in a store in Silver Lake. Working off photographs of the boys, she deftly captured the essence of their faces. The size of each portrait is a modest 5x7 inches, but I think they are just the right size to mark this stage in their lives. Perhaps I will commission her again to do three more portraits down the road when they hit the teenage years, or go back and have her capture an earlier time.

Happy Mother's Day!


What a day! It started with a 10K race with some of my favorite Boulder buddies around the Boulder reservoir. Post run, we returned to chez Besser, where the dads were whipping up the most fabulous brunch for us. The weather, which has been mostly cool, cooperated and gave us glorious sunshine and warmth. Once I have my 4pm nap, I think this will be the best Mother's Day ever. Ever.
