Alan turned 32 today! He was born on the first day of spring, which I’ve always thought a perfect metaphor for who he is. Alan is purely spontaneous, bringing new perspectives into my life and never failing to surprise me…which is not *always* a good thing, but is what drew me to him and what gives my life its spark! A kid at heart, he is playful, easy-going, and makes people happy.
Mia loves to make things for people and spent this whole week preparing for Alan’s birthday. My generic Target-bought gifts didn’t hold a candle to her heartfelt creations, although I do think he is pretty excited about his new crank-handle camping lantern!
Alan is the proud owner of this make-believe fairy world: the dream of any grown man, right?
Another dream come true…maybe not, but it did pull at his heartstrings a bit.
And an extra gift to all of us today: Mia learned to tie her shoe laces–another little sign of her growing up ever so quickly.
Happy birthday to Alan, who keeps me laughing and always on my toes!

lovely lisa! and, of course, happy birthday alan! i love getting a glimpse into your guys’ world and really, who *wouldn’t* love a fairy land? 🙂 p.s. mia is so creative and is getting to be quite the sewer, too, right?!
Thanks, Galit! I love the little fairy land, too. I helped quite a bit with the sewing, but she certainly is learning quickly.
