DA BOOK
CAST OF CHARACTERS
Da Momma: Elizabeth, a journalist and college instructor. Formerly a latte-slinging, cell phone-talking Washington political junkie. Now a wild-dancing accidentally offensive woman with an irrational passion for flinging things on the floor and hanging things from ceilings. Wants you to think she's a grown-up, even though she calls her Dad the minute things get complicated.
Baby Eden: The Schmoopy. My sweet little Three, who shrank instead of grew. But she's always had Momma's back.
Mary: Devoted to hermit crabs and FREAKING OUT. Made me a mother.
Karenna: Peekaboo Streak. The Roodle, Doodley. Everybody knows about Roo. Passionate about folk music. Some werewolf tendencies. Always looking for new employees. Sophisticated vocabulary
Cute Husband, Esq: A former Marine, it was he who instilled in our daughters a love of getting up very early in the morning to go off and do things. Some days he's lucky he's still alive.
Da Posse: Three friends, six years, eight kids. Because no one can ever see her own stuff. So you gotta get some friends who see yours and tell you about it. And then promptly forget it because they are easily distracted by shiny objects. Oooo. Shiny. The moms aren't in this shot. Nor three of the kids. Just use your freaking imagination.
Moonbeam and Sunbeam: Yes, okay, somehow or other they got the same sorta names as our cats, Moonlight and Sunshine. That was a total accident. However, like the cats, they are super-cuddly, will get food for themselves if hungry, and they're part of the family. Like the rest of the family, they believe in the power of liquor, drugs, and hot glue. They have no fear of blood.
The Beasties: Two cats. And some cacti that refuse to die. This is a picture of a fish we killed a long time ago. Need to update that.
Awwwww does not begin to cover it. Happy anniversary, Liz and CuteHusband!

Happy Anniversary! What a beautiful photo, it and your post today brought tears to my eyes.
What a lovely photo. I am in the middle of planning my own wedding, and I hope our photos turn out as beautifully as this one.
I love the dress as well. Does it have a lace overlay? It looks stunning!
captures the moment. Lurve sillllouets (obviously not hooked on phonics)
what a lovely picture… so beautiful and poetic…
i second the sound of music reference! it’s totally like the scene where maria and the captain finally reveal their love, sing a song, and then makeout (which btw used to gross me out as a kid). you make a beautiful maria, and of course your Cute Hubby is ideal as captain von trapp in his military getup! i fully expect you to post a youtube video recreation of that scene on here now, complete with giggling children in the background. lol
Just breathtaking!…..
Isn’t it romantic…
gorgeous! congrats!
And they lived happily ever after…. The end of those fairy tales is the beginning in real life! Beautiful!
Breathtaking, literally. I gasped when I saw it. What a beautiful photo! It should not be in a box – it should be in a frame!
Wait.. is that of you and Franklin?!? I’ve never seen that picture before! It’s beautiful! Happy A-Day a little late!
