my birthday was awesome. i woke up and got my face painted, went paddle boarding on ladybird lake, had lunch with ian at black sheep lodge, got a foot massage, met the fam at whole foods and walked to waterloo records where we saw/listened/danced to shinyribs. capped off the day with amigos at swift's attic and the elephant room. it was a lovely austin day.
happy birthday, bebe
ian, i remember spending your birthday together in prague 10 years ago. we were so young and so free and our love was so new. it all seems a world away now.
these days our universe spins around a muse and a marvel. they are so young and so free and their love is so new.
every day with you i experience love begetting love. and i thank my lucky stars that i get to spend this life with you.
happy birthday, bebe.
side note: the above pictures are of ian and koruna painting marvel's ceiling. when mars first looked up and noticed it, he said, "uh-oh. dirty." love it.
me, too
as one could tell if they were to peruse this blog, the majority of pictures i have of myself are from this angle, this distance. i know this is the case for many a mama.
if i've got a picture of me these days, i can pretty much bet that it is taken by me at arm's length. i've become the chronicler of this family's life and though i feel sort of silly taking pictures of myself, i want it on record that "hey, i was there, too! 'member?"
taking the photos, telling the stories already helps me better remember the days gone by. i'm really grateful for that.
