Happy Birthday J! You still have great hair.

Happy Valentine's Day J

Today I stretched out next to a pure young woman

as if at the shore of a wide ocean,

as if at the center of a burning star of slow space.

From her lengthily golden gaze

the light fell like water in transparent and

deep circles of fresh force...

-Neruda

You sent me this poem 15 years ago today. It was then I knew...

I Know I'm a Little Behind...

I may (or may not...just being honest) get around to updating what we've been up to over the last 11 months, but here is what Minnie has been up to.

After about 15 minutes of basketball practice on Friday, our little scrapper (she has been known to make her opponents cry) fractured her elbow. Initially we thought she broke her nose (crazy amounts of blood EVERYWHERE!), but it turned out that her elbow took most of the impact. She tried playing in the game the next day, but couldn't move her arm. That's when we knew something wasn't right. Luckily, she will only be in a cast for 3 weeks. Of course she had to add a little bling to her cast. Love this girl!
