I love...

I really adore the fact that my husband Adam refers to hands and feet as paws and flippers. Sometimes paws are also referred to as wings. And flippers as hoofs. There is something amazingly sweet about those terms. When I am cold -- he asks for my paws to warm me up. And when we are falling asleep - we often hold flippers. It borders on the edge of gross cute but somehow stays on the side of endearing. Similar to these baby animals. Every time I look at them - I die a little because of their sweetness.

birds and jars - together!

my new glass bird jar - from Pottery Barn.

Those of you who know me - either personally or through reading this fluff bucket of a blog - are aware that I have an odd obsession with glass jars and strange birds. I even have small glass birds that I keep in large glass jars. It drives my husband crazy.  But I guess he loves me because for our 6 year dating anniversary (April Fool's Day) he gave me the ultimate glass jar - a bird jar! That's right - it is a glass jar with a bird on top. Boo-ya!!
I'm not sure what I am going to put in it yet - I just know that I love it and I love him.

Happy Spring.

p.s. - I gave him tickets to see David Sedaris on Easter Sunday. We always listen to his books on tape when we go on long car rides so it will be quite a treat to see him in person. I really really hope he tells more stories about his time in France....

Aloha and mahalo.

doesn't Adam have great teeth?

Ahhhh - a little end of year bliss. After a long year of triumphs (new babies to love, marathons run, weddings, journeys abroad) and trials (bad car accident, sick parents, too much work traveling) we rang in the new year in one of the most relaxing places on earth, Kauai. Here are some (very) belated New Year's vacation photos from our trip to Kauai.

Mahalo.
