happy b-day to luke.

a day off with the love of my life. i couldn't have asked for a better day. and no, it wasn't my b-day ... it was his.

he chose a morning at pike place, walking around downtown and watching "The Adjustment Bureau." believe me, i petitioned heavily for the jennifer aniston movie. but the birthday boy wins.

here's how it went:




he received several clues about his surprise.



we thought about this for a really long time. next time!



i love fancy grocery stores. just love them. i don't even have to buy anything ... just walking around makes me happy.



this is how he spent a lot of the morning taking care of work stuff.



so sweet that luke worked a trip to anthropologie into the day's agenda. good man!



while he bought donuts, i wandered into another cool grocery store. i must have read every label on every bottle on this shelf. don't know why i love it so much, but i do.



luke's favorite donuts in the world.



lunch at stanford's.



he had steak and prawns.



i had soup and a sandwich. yum!



when caleb learned about all the fun we had without him, he didn't want to talk.



but then we took him to blue c sushi at alderwood and he forgave us.



eating a bobs in a diaper and boots.



cuddles at the end of the night.

luke marvel. i wish i could take all the happiness you've given me, wrap it in a box, stick a bow on top and give it right back to you. we loveth you. happy b-day!

tidbits.

this kid LOVES the remote.





i wish he was reaching for this for the right reasons.




never too early to try sushi.



every time i think i am going to cut his hair, i get this irresistible urge not to.



sometimes self portraits are all we get and i'll take them .. no matter how tired and shiny i am.



you'll find him in this spot every weeknight at 7 p.m.



second to the remote, his next greatest obsession is heating vents.



cardboard. for some reason he's fascinated with it.



he loves showing off his toys to anyone who will watch.
