So Sebastian has started singing. (Notice how I haven’t updated my blog in six months, and I’m acting like that’s not the case? Classy, huh?) That’s a lie. He has always been a singer. But now that he’s learned a lot of words, his singing sounds very different. It’s very soft and sweet, with the makings of a real melody. And his songs scatter in sounds from real words, but not necessarily whole words. He especially likes to sing in the back seat of the car while we’re driving. I imagine that’s kind of like his version of singing in the shower. Last night after I picked him up from my mom, who s staying at our empty condo until she and my stepdad can rebuild their flooded house, we were driving through River Plantation, looking at some of the piles of trash that still haven’t been picked up yet after the flood. He was singing so sweetly and peacefully in the backseat, reminding me how lucky I am that I get to be his dad. It made me reflect on what a ride all of this has been (The flood, fatherhood, marriage, life in general) and it made me tear up, thinking that amidst all of this devastation, I’ve seen more humanity and giving out of people, my community, my friends and neighbors, my family, than I ever have in my life. I see more than ever that Home isn’t a building, it’s a feeling. It’s friends and family. It’s whatever and wherever you define it to be.
Happy Anniversary!

Eight years ago today I married my best friend. So much has changed since then, but I am so blessed to still be able to spend every day with Michelle. And of course having Sebo around reminds us of how amazingly lucky we are.
Here is a video of Sebo’s first ride on a carousel (with some brief cameos from our cousins Rachael and Emily): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bREdZi3HvY

Family was in town last weekend from Ohio and we had a blast. Petted stingrays, which was crazy. Family in town this weekend from Missouri. Tomato art festival. Parties. Getting paintings ready to ship to a new gallery in California. Friend coming into town next weekend. 8 year anniversary on Wednesday. Sebo can climb the stairs and open the door in his room now.
Lotta things.
