on the last day of school for the big kids, my dear talented sister joined me and luca on a little stroll around the farm trail, and captured oh so much of what i adore about life with this squishy mini man! [pretty sure it was about 300 captures, actually! please, appreciate my less than 50 favs! ha!] i mean, really. i ask him daily if i can just smooch his yummy cheeks all day long, but you see, he is very busy feeding his puppy and leaving a trail of toys throughout every room.
but oooh, my baby! my babiest boy. he is as wild and fun as his curls would have you think. he’s passionate and energetic from sunup to sundown… a powerhouse, this child! though, far more tender than he typically lets on. he’s snuggly. adventurous. sweet. one with all the creatures! [not afraid to eat dog food.] game for anything. [like i said!] i marvel at his gusto, and i really, really can’t believe he only has a handful of months left being two years old! it’s my favorite age… always has been. and here i am, just soaking it up for the last time, never quite knowing if i desperately want this stage to last forever or if i’ll maybe be okay letting it go for good this time. honestly, i still miss my first two at this age, so… i don’t think i’ll ever let it go!
anyway… as hard as it is for me to part with my bigger two babes on the reg, i really loved my time with lu! he’s truly a gem, this boy… i’m inspired by his bold and joyful spirit, and i’m thinking maybe, just maybe, i can harness just a little bit of that for myself. 🙂
ps! total shoutout to childhood with my sister: these photos made me think of that line in a knight’s tale… better a silly girl with a flower than a silly boy with a horse and a stick. in this case, i obviously have to disagree! haha! but gosh, i need to watch that movie again ASAP right now STAT pronto. i needed a medieval health ledger dance scene in my life like, yesterday!
Wish I had told you before how much I enjoyed your blog. You haven’t posted for two years. I hope all is OK with you and yours. What initially attracted me to your blog was the Bible verse at the bottom of the page and your references to God. I am a born again Christian as is my husband. We are retired and have 2 sons and 7 grandchildren. God’s blessings. Just know that you are loved and missed. Until the rapture, Heaven (death) or sooner I hope. You have a gift for mothering and a definite writing gift. Can’t think what to say else. Just know that you are loved and prayed for.
I just accidentally ran into your blog after a long time, but I know there are no accidents. You can read my comment above, too, if you want. On this night, July 24, 2024, I am writing you again. I appreciate your references to Jesus and your Bible verse at the bottom of your blog. Seeing your chronicle of your husband, 3 children and other family was (is) enjoyable.
It has been 3 years since your last post. If you have stopped blogging, just know that I wished I had let you know that your blog was something I enjoyed earlier.
