Life of Wry

While it’s a bit disruptive to Jim’s sleep, I’m partial to setting an alarm at 2:21am on June 24 each year so that I can be in that moment and remember delivering Peter Keaton Frame into the world. It was a very very key milestone in the lives of (at least) three people! Jim was right there for every grunt in those wee hours (twenty six years ago!), so it doesn’t seem too out of school that he be slightly awakened once a year to honor the moment. Amiright?

Thought so. [smile]

So, like I said, this guy turned 26 today! Twenty six!

I can say it here (you know, because it’s my blog and this is why I have a blog): I am so unbelievably in love with this guy. I’m in awe the man he is becoming. That seems like a trite thing to say.. I hear people say it a lot about their children. But it also says a lot. It says there is growth, and development, and adapting, and lessons learned. It implies curiosity, open heartedness, a thirst for knowledge and understanding. If you possess those things, you are going to grow and become. Peter cares about people, about the world, about knowing things and experiencing things. He is incredibly principled. He’s analytical, thoughtful. He’s got a broad set of interests and a broad set of talents. He’s confident, yet very modest.

And yeah.. he kind of reminds me of my husband. Which I don’t think is a coincidence.

Anyway.. he’s 26. He’s becoming. He’s got all kinds of things to learn yet, all kinds of skills to refine. But, damn, he’s got a solid foundation of smarts, integrity, thoughtfulness and open-mindedness.

I am really, really proud of him.

How ’bout a pic or two?
