because I’d forgotten how sweet it was holding hands with this sode-toting/guzzling, motorcycle-hoodied sweetheart while walking the waterfront in Seattle. In fact, I’d completely forgotten about the clemantine soda that he insisted he carry and swig himself. The other night I was editing photos from our extended vacation in Spokane and I came [...]

oh those luscious locks that I love so much. They were often wild. They fooled strangers into thinking that Jack is a girl. They whipped him in the face when the windows were down in the car. They curled so sweetly at his little neck. They got ratty and knappy [...]

I know that I’ve already gushed about my sweet boy turning 2- but I wanted to share the photos from his birthday. We have no family or friends here so it was a really small party- but an awesome party nonetheless, just like last year.

It’s a surreal [...]

love love love this kid.

You are way more little [...]
