there's nothing like a good cup of coffee to start your day. i indulge every morning and, if i do say so myself, i make a pretty good pot of coffee. i'm not a trendy coffee drinker...no double shot of anything, no hazelnut and vanilla bean extract...just plain coffee with cream (milk) and sugar. i guess you can say i am definitely my mother's child...we like the same coffee, drink it the same way and i was fortunate enough (allen says spoiled, i say fortunate) to have a steaming cup on my bedside table every morning when i still lived at home. my mom kept avery for the first year and 1/2 of her life for three days a week and i quickly learned that nana's traditions get passed down at an early age. apparently avery began 'begging' for sips of tea and coffee at a very young age...so what's a nana to do???

while avery doesn't get coffee every morning, or even every week, we still have some special mornings at our house. i hope our mornings and cups of coffee together carry on for many years and we share many special moments.

i leave you with our morning....
