Sebastiaan Bremer

Can you tell I'm behind with the whole world? I love these childhood photographs that Sebastiaan Bremer altered. Also. The outfits. These remind me a little bit of Rylie's "Pollock phase" which means lots of paint splatter ALL OVER her brother's bedding. Did you know he is her favorite? We had her play a game at the MOMA in NYC this summer and told her to find the Pollock which she had learned about at preschool.


She found it. She can spot them anywhere now. Im sure she could even spot a fake. She met another Santa this weekend after she sat on the first ones lap and looked at me and said "Okay Mama where is the REAL Santa? These guys are not Santa." Oh boy.

Thankful

Nice to Meet You

As promised. If you are reading this it means that she is officially ours.
Okay okay. I have to post one more.
See what you can do become a foster adopt parent. It has been an amazing experience for us.

I need this poster in order to survive

I just found this. Its amazing. I think that when people walk into my office I just need to point to the poster and then say "Do you still want to talk to me about work?"

For Me For You For Them

Please help support Kate and Will as they battle medical bills for Will's chemo without insurance. Beautiful people, beautiful work.

Mark Lazenby

Oh I really like Mark Lazenby's work. A lot.

Pinky Swear

I promise to remember how my hands felt when I found out on the phone that you are almost ours. I promise to remember how hard it was to promise you that I would be your mama forever before I even knew because there wasnt any way that it couldnt actually be true. We love you Little R. Pinky swear.

4!

I had to print out photos for Henry's real actual birthday (today) for school. This one just makes me want to bite his face (in a nice way).

In Their Court

Something happens to your heart when it is in the hands of others. When your future as a family is dependent often on people you have never met. Long story short we have to wait several more months to make her ours, even though by most accounts she is ours...I swear I stop breathing for a full minute when I think of the tiny chance she could be taken back even though the chance is so small. Its hard to trust the people that are "looking out" for her when they screw up so badly in just a simple way.

This could have been one of the worst weeks in a long time (a lot of other terrible stuff happened). Which the kids made better by nail parties and a birthday party where they decorated and art directed the cake (pink on the inside and purple on the outside) and a "shark magazine" which was R's idea.







There is always next week.
