Moments

A few minutes ago I  was taking some pictures off of my card.

Just some backyard shots from yesterday on the trampoline.

I stared at this one for a while- trying to blink back the tears that were trying to make their way out.

2 months away from turning 5.  How is that possible?  My little guy, the crazy one, the one that wants to be a big kid.

Have I squeezed everything I can out of his first five years?

And that’s when I decided

forget school

forget work

forget the yard that needs to be cleaned more

forget the laundry

forget the dirt and dog hair that needs to be vacuumed

It’s 72 degrees outside and I am taking my baby to the zoo.

You go girl!!!! That’s my philosophy!!!!!

You can work and clean when the kids are in school-but you can NEVER get today back!!

That boy has some happy eyes. They look like they may smile even when his mouth doesn’t. Hope the zoo was fun.

I remember when we all went to the outer banks and celebrated his first birthday! We played with those tupperware bowls and spoons and tried to help him walk even if it was just a few steps. Now look at him, all of them, handsome and sweet boyos. Hope the zoo was fun!
