Solly goes to school and turns FIVE!!

Sweet Solly. So many BIG things have happened in your world recently -- you started pre-school this year (and are totally rocking it out) AND you turned five! 

We've loved celebrating you for the past couple of weeks. You took Power Ranger cake pops to your friends at school and jumped at Big Air with some of our best buds. You loved the puzzle I scooped up in Louisville for you (100 pieces!) and the airplanes daddy and your brothers picked out. 

Sollah-Roo, you are so special. You're perceptive and emotional. You love Power Rangers and (still) Sleepy Dog. This past year you spent time at the lake, the farm and beach. You gained another little brother. You learned to swim. 

You're growing big and strong. I love watching you with your brothers - you flow seamlessly between them (most of the time) and truly love being with them. You are so special to me and I am so thankful that you're mine. 

louisville, ky

louisville, in my mind forever marked as the city i walked miles upon miles, baby on my chest (at home), sweaty from the end of summer heat, blisters from last years birthday shoes, no agenda but to wonder in and out of shops, ever in search of an iced chai. 

morning coffee on the go. a brief pass through of the world fest that led me to the sprawling Ohio River. a bus ride east, just me and the littlest boy, in search of just what there was to see. 
a belly full of empanadas, cochinita pibil, and black bean cakes encored with piping hot churros, my favorite meal in a very long time. my biggest boy working late, laying his head on the pillow beside mine at odd morning hours, but there. 

a trip for reminding and remembering and just being.
