p is for papa

today we're going to shoot the works and celebrate our guy with some of his favorites...homemade cherry pie and bottomless americanos and the best kind of bad joke telling--with a side of lots of kisses on the mouth! we're lucky and we know it. 

happy father's day, fellas! 

quiet fleetings

another quiet week...trying to strike a balance between being completely present and going inward a bit in preparation for things to come.

....being a good summer mama to my little boy (carpooling to play dates, buttoning on that baseball pin, rainy day video game playing) and trying to get this house in order. i'm in a forever sea of laundry and a winter coat shedding dog.

but these are happiest, hectic, most fleeting kinds of days.

each one a good one.

today i'm finishing up last minute sweet things for the men in our lives for father's day tomorrow! between my dad, matt, and max's papa, we're some of the luckiest friends, max and me.

it's a blessing to be surrounded by such men.

have the happiest weekend, loves!

xoxo

the luckiest

i hope all of you had a wonderful father's day with the guys in your life.

ours has been the fullest and happiest yet.

and i can't help but sit here and think about my max today and the uncertainty of our lives 2 year ago. 

i look at where we're at, where he's at, and it's enough to bring me to my knees. 

he's the luckiest boy in town. 

what could have been a detriment has become his ace up the sleeve.

he is surrounded by a constant flow of love and guidance from two very different men.

but to him, they are both dad.

(p.s. i'm still working on writing about my divorce. i've been writing every week since that april post and delete every bit of it every time. i've come to the conclusion that there is no perfect way of speaking painful truths...that i might have to just go off the cuff. thank you for your patience. xoxo)
