life of charmings

love, family, happiness

fireflies in the summertime

growing up one of my biggest fears was always… to be honest… growing up.
what i didn’t realize, though, is that you don’t really have to grow up.
you get old enough to do certain things, sure,
like play house in an actual house, with a real kitchen, and real other people.
[i definitely had a handful of imaginary friends when i was little. never been much for alone time! ]
and then! well, you get to do kid stuff all over again!
i, for one, certainly never grew out of catching lightening bugs,
or at least watching them light up the pretty summer evenings…
but now, watching little eyes excitedly spot them, little [naked!!] bodies chase them,
and little hands catch them…
it’s just the best. and it’s completely magical.

*but i’m still not really up for getting wrinkles!

    I think that's one of my favorite parts of being a parent, getting to relive things through our kids. And we are just getting started!
