Logan was Mr. Inspired this morning and we all made a mess of the kitchen creating architecture. Logan decided we have 3 architects because Sylvie scribbles and architects don't scribble. Then Sylvie surprised him by drawing real window shapes on her creation and Logan officially inducted her into the family of architects. First he made a "Blueprint" where he drew an elevation of what he wanted to build. Then he cut up the Blueprint and made a "Model" (the one with the frog in it). Then he built the real thing. What a smart little boy! Sylvie wanted a house for Snow White so I folded and she windowed and we made a little home.
I'm just an average Chicagoan making her way in the world. I spent 7 years living in Seattle and it profoundly formed who I am. I spent 15 years of my life married to my soulmate, who has made my days full and bright and stood alongside me through thick and thin. I have three wonderful beautiful children who are my greatest creation yet. Logan is my 8-year-old quiet realist who has recently found his voice and has us laughing at all that is pouring out of his head. Sylvie is my 6-year-old Fairy Tale Princess who lives in the clouds and comes down to tell us we are "so funny" and make sure we know she is the center of our universe. My day job is a residential architect. I spent 7 years in college and about 12 years in the working world learning and I feel like I have about another 50 years worth of knowledge to gain on the subject. I was working part-time, though I am on a leave of absence to enjoy this third bundle of joy- Venice. The past years have led me down a crazy path of SAHM to working mom and I'm not quite sure where I'll end up. For now...I think I'll just write about it as it all happens.
