out of my head

i've been introspective lately. just completely absorbed with thoughts that don't need sharing, you know what i mean? existential stuff, life questions - big and small - that i've really been struggling with on an recklessly high level. i pull joey in sometimes to bat around ideas that are completely off the wall or ideas that are just too big for me to hold by myself, but for the most part i've just been hanging out with my family or trying to figure out the ins and outs of this life, and everything after. so that's where i've been.

this space - this blog - has been on the docket a time or two. as henry gets older and my time with him still never seems to be enough, i wonder if this blog is really the kind of thing i want to keep taking up precious space on my to do list. the answer, by the way, is overwhelmingly yes. because it's henry's space, really. and even though one day i'll likely take it all down and save it in some archive to access later when henry is older and cares to browse, it's worth the time and effort now. if there is anything this blog does, it forces me to reflect on what is happening in our lives, and more importantly it forces me to take pictures. which is surprisingly really hard for me to remember to do! and i'll be honest, it's the lack of pictures that's been preventing me from hopping back on the saddle over the past two weeks, because pictures of our day to day are just not happening for some reason. and pictures are the thing that makes or breaks a new blog post, am i right?

so i've got this.

and this.

and this one.

because they make me so very, very happy :)

have the most wonderful thanksgiving ever. i could ramble on and on about the blessing in my life that keep me floating higher than the clouds these days, but that's what tomorrow's for!
