what could be better than taking a nap with mama on a rainy afternoon?

Very recommended

"The Fixer" by Pearl Jam. (That's a song, and a band.)

It's their new single. Very unexpectedly different. Very satisfying. Very recommended (by me!).

up early this morning. walking to luck bros. to get coffee while the boys continue their slumbers.

what's for dinner? potato zucchini pancakes. delicious!

our harvest today: 3 butternut squash, 2 jalapeno peppers, 4 mr. stripeys, and a bunch of sweet 100s.

mom tried to get a picture of me standing up for my nine month blog post, but i just wanted to play with this stick that keeps the sliding glass door closed.

shoot. my new (thrifty) sunglasses.

...found an old friend

I was reminded today of a building block of my life that I haven't been utilizing in my quest to build myself back up and discover. Song. A song is a story compressed into a short snippet of time and enhanced by harmony, melody, rhythm, delivery, rawness...

I'm transported again from the mundane to something greater than me. And it feels right.

bouncy fun with andrew!

pb and banana, hot dog style.

two boys just snoozing away the afternoon.

sleepin' in the car seat. aka, mom and dad get fast food dinner from penn station and eat in the car while i sleep.

just stretching with my leg warmers, that's all. (meant to keep the sun off of his legs when he's being worn outside.)

laughing at being tickled.

climbing up mama on the couch.
