Pictures 366 (Leap Year) -- Wk 2

It's been such a busy week! It flew by! I wanted to be more present and in-the-moment on the blog. Meh. Maybe next week. :)

Thursday was Seth's 9th birthday. I can't believe it. He's a really amazing kid. I'm proud that he's mine.

The day before Seth's birthday, Steven took me to lunch. We were sitting across from one another in the booth, discussing our day.

"Doesn't it feel weird?" he asked.

"What?"

He shook his head. "I can't believe we have a nine-year-old."

Yes, most days feel exactly like that.

Sometimes it hits me: I'm a mom. I know that sounds silly. I'm with my kids every day. But. It's easy to forget that I used to be a different person, and then suddenly I realize how my life has morphed. As a kid, I could never have imagined the life experiences I've had so far. I'm thankful for every single one of them. I think a lot of it has to do with being open to letting them come.
