What a beautiful evening for a walk on the beach!

 It's nights like this that make me go....
"Wow! I can't believe we *get* to live here!"

I Will Carry You

I love that I can kiss your head

Just inches away from my lips

Our hearts beat together as I carry you

Perched up high you see my world

Then turn your head in and sleep

Resting on me you are safe

Your body next to mine you are secure

We are in tune in this external womb

In my arms you will be

Until you are ready to venture out

But until then, I promise,

I will carry you.

WW: Hangin' with the coolest Great-GREAT Grandma in town...

Give me Brass... give me jazz!

KB is now 2 weeks old... and we have discovered she too has a love of music.  But... not the common soothing ballads of lullabies, Classical or instrumental...  ohhhh, no!  For those, she screams!  This baby  only is soothed by the arousing melodies & instrumentation of Big Band/Swing/Jazz... and more specifically, Micheal Buble.

At first I thought surely it was a major coincidence..  after all 2wks old is way too young to have such an option... right?   But after some switching back & forth among various genres.... Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra, & Louis Armstrong won out every time... ;) 

Who would have though, hmm? I must say, she does come by it honestly -as it's probably my favorite genre as well... (and besides, who doesn't love Buble's voice. LoL)  But still, for someone so tiny... I must say, it's truly wild....   :)  Hey, who knows.... with such an ear for the sound, maybe she'll break our piano/string-playing precedent... and be a brass player.  That would be neat.
