So blessed to have such amazing men in my life. I hope Indio is taking notes from these three wonderful fathers.

Time Capsule

Sara from Feeding the Soil posted this video link, which brought tears to my eyes. I'm a sucker for almost any sort of *scrapbook,* but this one may just take the cake. I wish I had seen this two and a half years ago, when Indio was first born.

I still love his fill-in-the-blanks baby book and the Blurb books I make, but this is another cool way to preserve time.

Weekend Update: Brooklyn

Another food-filled weekend in our soon-to-be-home again. I love watching Indio enjoy all the things I love about NYC.

Bittersweet

Load the car and write the note.
Grab your bag and grab your coat.
Tell the ones that need to know.
We are headed north.

One foot in and one foot back.
But it don’t pay to live like that.
So I cut the ties and I jumped the track.
For never to return.

Ahh Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in.
Are you aware the shape I’m in?
My hands they shake, my head it spins.
Ahh Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in.
