domestic reflections: Week 31.

Week 31.

August 7, 2009

It is really hitting me how soon this baby is going to be here. Although I was almost 2 weeks late with C-Man, I was 3 weeks early with JuJu, so I have to get prepared pretty quick here. Luckily (I think), with the third, it's mostly just mental preparation that needs to be made.

Love, love the weekly pictures. Congratulations!

I had to come out of the shadows and 'introduce' myself. I've really enjoyed discovering your blog recently, and learning about your lovely family.

Our dinner tonight is inspired by a post of yours from last summer (angel hair w/ fresh tomato sauce). The sauce is waiting patiently on our counter, and I can't wait to taste it!

A million thanks, Betty.

Where are you going to put that baby? After it gets here, I mean. Will he or she have his or her own room?

You really do look just amazing!

I love:
Rainy days, moody music, warm drinks, picking fruit from a tree, turquoise water, baking, sharing meals with friends, most everything “old world,” simple, rustic, smart, funny, really hot baths, feeling connected, being pregnant, finding the perfect gift, smelling the tops of my kids’ heads, cacti + succulents, citrus, California light, guest houses, stinky cheeses, everything my grandmother baked, hearing my kids laugh, small world connections, smiles between strangers, snuggling, reading cookbooks, modern, Mediterranean, walks in the forest, being near the ocean, everything about the desert, gold, jeans, Lillet Blanc, natural childbirth, the beginning of a new season, snail mail, hearing someone’s story, people who reveal themselves…

"your children are not your children,
they are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself.
they come through you but are not from you,
and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
you may give them your love but not your thoughts,
for they have their own thoughts.
you may house their bodies but not their souls,
for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
you may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
for life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday."

"the master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. he hardly knows which is which. he simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. to him he’s always doing both."
-james michener

"the whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts."
