first day: kindergarten.

Kindergarten bound.

I thought my momma heart would be at least a bit saddened to see my baby boy reach this milestone. No tears were shed, just feelings of great excitement for him as I watched him grow from what seemed like toddler to big kid over night. He is brave. Braver than I might even be. He's a good boy when he wants to be and oh so smart. The best parts about kindergarten "being the teacher helper, playing with friends, PE, walking home with Lucas".

The fair.

Benton Country Fair 2013.

the animals, the food, the rides. they love it all.

but letting me capture the moment is another story. "come on mom, hurry up". 

sometimes it too hard for my AB to muster a simple smile.  

Baby Mine.

Three months. A milestone that marks her first real coos and laughter. Restful nights and sleepless ones as well. She wants to talk to us. We talk back and she smiles as if she knows exactly what we are saying. She giggles when we play peek-a-boo and is trying to roll over. 

Those baby blues are as bright as the sky and they light up the moment she wakes. 

She truly is happy and oh! so special. I can't describe it, but there is something unique about her. My heart tells me that I have no idea what her true potential is. But He does. He sent her here, here to me to be a light in my life and the life of many others.
