Happy Birthday GG!

Since we don't live in the same town as our GG, we had to get creative.

It started simply enough - let's make a sign and take some sweet pictures.

~But that quickly turned into this~

~So we went on with our day and brought our sign with us, in the car~

~To the park~

~To the docks to see the boats~

~And finally we passed out after our adventures~

The little things

It's not that I don't want my babies getting older, or for time to stand still, or for them to stay small forever. I enjoy watching the two peanuts learn new things and I enjoy seeing them change - I just don't want to forget.

I won't forget when I brought each of them home.

I won't forget Savana meeting Judah for the first time.

I won't forget their first birthdays.

But bath time at 14 months - that I may lose. So I chronicle the little things through my lens in hopes of keeping moments with me.

Be Brave.

The other day I met a very young lady, no older than six. We had to leave her parents behind as we trekked on down to the MRI scanner, just her and I. We chatted about life - princesses, puppies, and the color purple. At one point during our very in depth discussion she paused for quite some time. I ask her what she was thinking to which she replied:

"I am scared right now, but I'm trying to be brave."

I hope my babies have it in them to be brave.



Someday, baby girl, when you are a famous musician, be it drummer, pianist, concert jazz flutist, please remember these photos.

 

Say what you wanna say 

And let the words fall out 

Honestly I wanna see you be brave 

 With what you want to say 

And let the words fall out 

Honestly I wanna see you be brave 

 I just wanna see you 

I just wanna see you 

I just wanna see you 

I wanna see you be brave
