it seems i've found a miracle

I picture us on a sailboat with a few kids and a dog, drifting through the seas. I picture us in the winter mountains with a wood burning stove and the windows fogged and the kids running inside with red cheeks and runny noses. I picture us in the city with a rooftop picnic, on a farm in France with our homemade wine, on hikes through the forests with a hammock and a campfire, on wind carved sand dunes and rickety trains that roll for days. No matter where we go, I wanna go with you. Happy One Year of Matrimony @onelovemeg. (at Vero Beach, Florida)

The greatest things about my life come from this woman. #wcw

Happy Birthday to the love of my world. (at Camaret, Bretagne, France)

Detail photo of the black walnut end grain. **Most of this black walnut started came from my brother's woodpile; just some of the split logs ready to be burned. Some cutting, planing, and more cutting and the end grain butcher block kitchen island is underway.

Inhale this neighborhood once and it'll always be home. #Pilsen #Chicago (at Pilsen, Chicago, Ill)

We had to say goodbye to our sweet little boy last night. We adopted him exactly one year ago yesterday and he sure was the sweetest pup. He had a tough life and yet had the kindest temperament. Bad hips, arthritis, allergies, deaf, and only one eye. But he never had a negative outburst and showed us a deeper level of compassion and gentleness I wasn't aware could exist. I love you Ralph and I am sad you are gone. We will miss you terribly. (at Hyde Park/53rd Street)

I've tried really hard to not be that guy who blows up his Instagram with baby photos, but seriously: this is why you have a kid. (at Hyde Park/53rd Street)

Biker babe. #babiesofinstagram #vintagemotorcycle

Kitchen island done (with temporary top).

Kitchen island: half shelf and half bar, with temporary top til the black walnut is ready. Shelf made of 100 year old maple flooring from an abandoned Chevy factory. #woodworking #reclaimedwood #abandoned #chevy #chicago #kitchenisland (at Barack Obama's house)

Chicago's ocean.

We were born before the wind.
