Our NOH8 photo was put up at noh8campaign.com today and it came out incredibly!!!

Many thanks to Adam Bouska and the folks at the event!

Really happy with how it turned out!

We’ve waited over two years to get our portrait done, we’re so excited to finally be here!

I think I found Lila’s first Christmas gift of the year!!!

Star Wars Death Star Planetarium!!

Transform your dark room into the Star Wars galaxy!

Ah, the planetarium. Home of many a school field trip. Our particular planetarium was built in the ’60s and featured orange and puke green seating. The recording that played while the stars lit up was also from the ’60s and would often fuzz out in places. Since we heard the same recording over and over, we’d try to recite it word for word while simultaneously ogling the couple that used the darkened space for hot makeoutz. (We were the adorably naive nerds who didn’t take advantage of the convenient makeout lighting. Sad, but true.)

If our planetarium featured Star Wars, we are sure that even the makeout couple would have unlocked faces long enough to stare into the sea of stars and planets. There’s Naboo! And Dagobah!

And Alderaan! Let’s face it, we feel closer to these locations than we’ll ever feel to our next-planet-neighbors Venus and Mars. But just in case you want some real educational value out of this Death Star, there’s a second dome that shows the night sky of Earth, constellations and all.

This week, Lila made us the sweetest book for Mothers’ Day. The whole book was about Alma and me and how much she loves us and is happy to have us as her moms. This comic made me smile because it was pretty fitting. Luckily, we have a teacher that not only understands that there are different types of families but also embraces it.

To all mothers everywhere…Happy Mom Day!
