A few years back I surprised him with a bi-plane ride over the coast near our Southern Cali home. He has always had a slight yen for flying and I think that has been one of his favorite birthday experiences.
This year, among other things (which I can't talk about until after Sunday), we are keeping it simple but sincere. Our baby boy is 14 months old and we have finally gotten back to having dates on the weekend (thanks to my mom who kindly babysits two or three times a week for us). It's up to Kevin what we do this time but I think it won't matter much. Having the time and space to walk and talk and hold hands, slowly, intentionally, mindfully, again is such a gift for us both. No matter what we do soaking up and breathing in the togetherness will be what it's all about, I'm sure.

This portrait is one of the ways I see my beloved Kevin. He is such a contradiction at times, which I love (pssst.. my art is often about contradiction). He is a thinker, a scientist, an efficiency monitor (seriously!!), a solver of problems and a seeker of information. At the same time he is a fun loving, crude, gawky, playful, messy, utterly hilarious KID. Because of this, and so many other reasons, I celebrate you, my love.
