birth days

our favorite bookstore Sundog

our fourth child was born on the Mister's birthday {he was never a big fan of his own birthday so this makes it super sweet}.

this year we celebrate a big boy birthday for both my men. one is no longer able to show his age using one hand. another is no longer a 30 something. i am grateful.

happiest of birthdays, husband and son. may you both know how very much you are loved. 
xo, gf

Brace Yourselves

{We interrupt this regularly scheduled pity party to give you....}

ode to braces: a photomontage

who knew metal could be so expensive? geez! i am totally going to repurpose those little wires…into a car. they cost more that our first station wagon!

i sure do love the boy behind the braces. since he is home schooled it is my responsibility to call him such names as "tinsel teeth",  "brace face", and "tin grin". and he will loooooooove it.
