i find that my priorities have changed...that the heat of the newest season no longer gives me reason to dread. that i look forward to the deeper days of june that usher in the swelter and oppressive nature of the summer sun.
i remember when i used to wish that i was a winter baby.
or an autumn baby like my sweet man...
that was before i sat in my doctor's office and informed that on the day i was to turn 30, i would most likely be giving birth to the newest member of our family.
no, if i was going to turn 30, i either wanted a baby in my arms or be overdue. i wanted him to have his very own day...
and he does.
2 days before my own.
which then ushers the white hot heat of august, fitting for olivia grace; full of sunshine and the intensity that only summer can bring.
summer used to be a season of dread and longing for the coolness of fall...
but now i see it as what they are...
gifts of life to be treasured and celebrated.
so, starting today...everyday until his second birthday, i will post a picture of my sweet, soon to be non-baby boy.
happy june...
more joyful because of him...
