We bought this book this past weekend... and while the original intent was for Zara, I have been pouring over the pages ever since we got this book home. Truthfully written and beautifully illustrated. Wonderful work @jabariasim and @lynngainesart. ❤️ #blackhistorymonth

he, she & z...

August 26, 2014

he has been working extra-long hours to support his family.

she has been leaving the office at 5:00pm on the dot as much as possible. 

z has been adjusting so, so well to her new(ish) school.

he is catching up on Drudge Report articles on his phone.

she just finished reading Gone Girl, by Gillian Flynn.

z is reading Big Red Barn and Night, Night Elmo... every.single.night.

he loves playing catch with Zara and is her preferred ball-throwing-partner.

she loves playing dress up with Zara... and we think she might like it as much as mommy does.

z loves going "high in the sky" with daddy, and "bwushing hair" with mama.

he is the master of the morning shuffle... getting Zara dressed and ready to go like it's his job.

she is the queen of daycare pick-up... savoring every second of the run-and-squeal-mama-hug.

z is the ruler of the nighttime hours... dominating bedtime (and mommy & daddy's bed) like she owns the place.

they are slowly figuring this thing out... one day at a time... and loving every single second of it all.
