Summer is here!
:o)
It's also my dad's birthday....Happy Birthday to my #1 blog reader! :o)
It feels like we've been having lots of ordinary days around here and I am 100% okay with them. I keep finding myself going back to my archives from last summer and seeing all the fun we had with Trace. It was so fun having him with us, just the three of us together all day.
I am realizing now more than ever that those little moments are really the big moments and they are fleeting. I wish there was some way I could bottle up Michael at this age with his funny sayings and sweet voice and the weight of his body when he snuggles up against me when we are watching a movie together. I know it is fleeting and that is what is the scariest part.
We are trying our hardest to make every day special and I want Michael to know how much we love him and treasure him.
Love the pictures Rose-- Michael is so cute! I completely understand how you feel about bottling him up so that you can savor these days forever-- I feel the same way about Maddox! Words put to paper describing it just don't do this period of his life justice-- I would love to be able to uncork a bottle of three year old Maddox so that I could experience it again sometime down the road, but I guess all we can really do is savor these days and acknowledge that it is the small moments in life that make life what it is. I'm sorry that Trace is not there to experience these moments with you, I still think of and pray for you and your family often. LH
