Scraps of Life

M and I took pictures of the boys in celebration of their upcoming birthdays. Their birthdays are still a week/2 weeks away, but I can't wait that long to post pictures. It's amazing how fast a year goes by. On second thought, it's amazing how slow it goes by, too. I'm really looking forward to this birthday. I'm not sad that he's growing up. I'm really glad about it. I made it through the first year! When I was pregnant, I just kept telling myself, one year, it'll be really hard, but just that first year. I hope my predictions were correct. I think so. It's getting easier. Just in case you don't want to read through the entire slide, it says, "When I look at you, sweet boy, I can still see the little baby in you. You still have those chubby cheeks, make sweet little sounds, and fit perfectly in my arms. In the same moment, I see in you the child you are becoming. You love to play games, you're trying to walk, and you're interacting with your world. This is such an unique moment in time. You're an embodiment of the past and the future all in one glance. Happy first birthday, little one." Enjoy!
