today is my husband's 31st birthday. i can hear him two rooms away singing a vocal part on his new song "Daylight." a giant chocolate chip cookie the size of a tire is in the oven baking and soon will be decorated with blobs of chocolate frosting. eli is asleep in his swing after a busy morning during which we made homemade birthday cards, and helped jeremy on a hunt around the house to find his gift: Recording The Beatles.
eli and i are proud of him for so many reasons. beyond the fact that he's pouring his heart into a new album full of brilliant artistry and heaps of perseverance (and he's doing it all to take care of us, his family), we are proud of him for being such a caring husband who rarely fails to love his wife well, no matter the extent of patience it requires. and we are proud of him for being such a dedicated new father who handles every middle of the night diaper change without a complaint, and tears up at the sight of his son's tiny face. not every man has that depth of sensitivity.
every april 6th, i have the opportunity to stop and really dwell on all the amazing things about this person i am so blessed to share my life with. and this year it's even better because now we have eli to help us celebrate.

Happy birthday, Jeremy! And what adorable pics of Eli. To me, he looks like both of you in these pictures, more than Kierstin, Jr..
