3 year anniversary

I have been married for 3 years today. I may not have everything that I always dreamed of materially, but I do have everything I've ever wanted. My life couldn't be in a better place. Well, it could in one way - but that's not important right now. What is important is that I'm sitting in my living room with the one person in the world that I love more than anything in the world. And the other person I love so very very much is safely asleep in his crib in the other room. The dogs are at my feet and the cats are sleeping on the couch. I am a blessed person. I want to put my thank you out to the universe. And my i love you out to my girl.

I love that we're raising a caring, kind little boy. Even at 18 months, his personality and his true nature are starting to develop and come out. I think that we have animals helps this process. He understands that he isn't the only creature in the world. We haven't specifically tried to raise him this way, but it seems to have just happened. I don't know if it's just in the way we live our life and he has learned that's how you treat people and animals. I'm so proud of my beautiful son.

and they say gays shouldn't raise children

We were walking into IHOP for breakfast this morning and we just had to laugh. Beckett was walking through the parking lot in his pink polo shirt carrying Abby's eyeglass case which strongly resembles a little purse. It was hilarious. Of course, if my son truly wants to carry a purse it's OK, it simply caught me off guard and I had to laugh.

I was searching through Flickr for photos tagged with SeattlePride and came across a couple of these. My family didn't attend the parade last year. Look at what happens when we come off the hill. We start to march in the middle of downtown Seattle and suddenly people think it's OK to protest. I don't ever recall this happening on Cap HIll. Were they afraid of the hill?
