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!!
Now you made ME cry!!!!!!! I think I needed to read this today. Thanks, Elisa. :o)
Yes yes YES..that’s how we need to live everyday. thanks for the reminder:)
Aw, I can’t wait to have a family and kids!!
I love your spirit. you seem to be such a great and FUN mom!!!!
That boy has some happy eyes. They look like they may smile even when his mouth doesn’t. Hope the zoo was fun.
good for you! all of that other stuff can wait!! love your blog!
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!
