If anyone knows where the past couple of months have gone, please let me know.
I’m lost for words and in utter disbelief that Christmas is less than a week away.
Luckily, I’ve been mind enough to stay on top of the shopping and decorating,
but I’m not really “ready”, ready.
My heart is still in a much different place.
To me, it was just yesterday I was chasing my little ones around outside.
Playing in the leaves, swinging high up in a swing.
And doing simple things that we now take for granted, like impromptu trips to get the mail.
I was always amazed by the sheer fun they had outside, socks {less shoes} and all,
running up and down the sidewalk, often with snacks in hand and a big ‘ol grin across their face.
{See how blissfully happy! He’s a lens cap fanatic too.}
{Love those tiny, dainty hands.}
I love the simple side of life they show me.
And I’m already missing our trips to the mailbox on warm, sunny afternoons.
{oh winter, you’re no good!…. or ARE you?}
