Someone is four



facts about Ezra

His favorite pie is chocolate cake
Hot peppers and peaches helped him form in the womb
He is a leftie and has a beauty mark at the base of his left thumb like his leftie auntie Mamy.
He was born in Appalachian Ohio.
He often gets stuck in places that he can't get out of on his own. Like yesterday when we found him perched on his windowsill with tears in his eyes.
He has a serious sweet tooth which often gets him into mischief involving stolen cupcakes and empty mason jars that used to contain your neighbor's uncle's maple syrup from Vermont.
He likes little things and never slept with a stuffy but loves to fall asleep with small books.
He recently discovered that he adores babies and will grin and hold them with extreme tenderness.
He has brown eyes and we still haven't figured that out exactly, even the milkman has blue eyes.
He is very mechanical and has been known to dismantle the screen door, and anything else that is nailed or screwed down.
We love him to pieces.

a birthday painting


Matt really loves biking. Perhaps more than he loves me. I am only half joking. To honor him on his 33rd birthday I decided to paint him a silhouette of his beloved bike. I was inspired by the gorgeous shadow the sun made peaking through the shape of his bike one afternoon. I quickly grabbed my largest piece of masonite, a black sharpie, moved that board around on the sidewalk to get it just right and then I furiously traced, waited for the clouds to move and traced some more. What other silhouettes can I make? I am a bit excited about the prospects of more shadows. If only classes and teaching weren't just a week away.

Happy Birthday Matty. I love you. You do drive me nuts sometimes. But, I really love you.
