12!


Twelve times around the sun. Twelve years of exploring, learning, and developing into this creature I see before my eyes.  My little Thoreau. He may have outgrown riding on my shoulders and cuddling in my lap, but he will never outgrow my heart. I've learned more about myself through him - more than he will ever know.  My heart is full of love for this kid, bursting at the seams in fact. This mamma is one lucky gal to call this kid "my son".

    1. I thought at first, he kind of looks like he is angry but he was just relaxing on the log. He spend much of the day here reading a book. I just kept thinking how lucky he was to experience that.
