"a baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten and the future worth living for."


this was my first week at home by myself with izzy.
based on this past week, this is my wish list addressed to God for the years ahead.

1. longer arms
2. miraculously appearing diaper rags all over the house.
3. no lawn mowers, trash guys, trains, factories or anything else that makes loud noises.
4. ariel to be employed by a place that makes him sleep/relax at work so he is not just as tired as me when he comes home.
5. wind up toys that sing longer than 30 seconds. a 30 minute wind up toy would be great.
6. the ability to pick stuff up off the floor with my feet while holding a sleeping baby.
7. a finger to keep the paci in izzy's mouth. at all times.
8. x-ray vision to see through the diaper when she's done.
9. a third arm.
10. the invention of a drive thru grocery that just carries essentials. and included among those essentials should be ice cream.
