wednesday things

listening
to that album.  again.  that 21 year old album that i'd totally get the name of tattooed on my arms if i wasn't deathly afraid of tattoos, needles and anything even slightly forever :)  an iPhone case is as permanent and fearless as it gets around here

wanting
to go to New York on Saturday to visit the Statue of Liberty (obsessed much....? yes: obsessed MUCH)

hoping
we soon have a crazy beautiful intense purple rain storm that is so crazy beautiful and intense that it causes a power outage.... because we have a generator now (phewwwwweeee our toilet won't flush in a power outage without one - New England is a very curious place)

thanking
my lucky stars that school doesn't start till after Labor Day here, as it should be in the real world.  anything before Labor Day feels like cruelty to children... Sam once went to a school that started 25 July... we moved from that neighborhood immediately :) 

introducing
Sam to the magical world of Morrissey today.  he thinks he's a little strange, a lot depressing and very very fascinating :)

wondering
how flights to England are cheaper in mid August than mid September......?  i absolutely R-E-F-U-S-E to fly on 9/11 (or even a day or two either side)

needing
to drive up to the mailbox (oh yeah i'm that lazy) because my amazon parcel has just been delivered!!!  three cheers for prime, text messages that tell you the second your smiley box was delivered and living in a world where driving to the mailbox is absolutely not frowned upon :)

Sam's birth day

 oh yeah, i made that shirt (it's a little bit crooked :) 

first stroller walk

 

Grandma came to visit (world's best baby burper)

 

  seriously the cutest baby everrrrr (i'm not even slightly biased)
fun fact: that towel is my hair turban nowadays... it's so stretchy, soft and lovely ;)

 

 

 

 one year old (his curls.... awwwww)
