you know what just jives me up? these two. every. stinking. time. i just can't get enough of those faces. those wacky, increasingly identical smiles! there are things in my life that i'll always be grateful for, but hanging out with these two takes the cake.
joey is out of town this week. he's enjoying mid-70 temperatures, phenomenal, towering views of guadalajara, and lots of down-time between meetings - he spent the afternoon sipping on mexican beers with his co-workers while i tackled all that it means to be a working mama with a blown-out tire this beautiful monday (darn you, sharp curbs on memorial bridge this morning!). but the thing about that seemingly not-glorious picture is that it sort of was glorious, in that messy, this is real-life sort of way.
and that's all i wanted to say. just that this life is really great. so i'm encapsulating this peaceful bliss that settled over me tonight when i sat down to cyber-monday shop with joey in the glow of our christmas tree and my computer screen :) this is contentment. this is hope. this is what we hang our hats on. happy holidays!
