sooner or later you'll bare your teeth

joanna newsom at benaroya hall.

i'll admit it, i cried a little.

toothless

new smile.

not too cute though, still spooky.

little vampire.

the best.

our work is never over.

new show coming soon in ballard! yay!

teeth takers

halo is impossible to wake up.

we are not morning people.

today was harsh, i felt awful having to wake him only to drag him to the dentist. those top two front baby teeth have been giving him trouble.

the dentist pulled them out, i thought they were just going to x-ray them. scary.

but look! he's just fine and such a handsome new smile! he thought the whole experience was really funny, must have been all that nitrous oxide.
such a brave little dude!

your magic is real

i am hiding in my office. most days i hide in my office. there are no windows, it's on the sixth floor but it feels underground. i don't mind it, it's like a big cave and i feel safe in it. it's horrible out, raining and windy and dark. i keep thinking about how sunny and beautiful it was at the pumpkin patch this weekend. about halo's crooked smile. he drew a picture for me at school yesterday of us there and he was holding a pumpkin and hugging me and there were 3 hearts floating out of his head. this picture killed me, it is the best thing ever. i keep thinking today how great things were that day, how everything is okay thru the eyes of a 6 year old, how real they are. i am glad he was thinking about this day yesterday, i hope we remember it forever. i hope i hope i hope.

dear you

i went back to cali a couple weeks ago.

got on a plane for the first time in years, it's been way too long.
