Sprinkled

This weekend was so very good to us. We spent the entire weekend together, as a family. We went to the farmer's market and ran into my parents. We spent time at Shane's parents' house, with Luke and Tommy's cousins.

We also received some very sad news this weekend. While the weekend was beautiful in every way, it also involved goodbyes... and that's never a good thing. With the goodbyes came the reminder to HOLD TIGHT, to say I LOVE YOU, to treasure EVERY MOMENT because you just never know how quickly it might be gone.

And so, we did.

p.s. Tommy started taking STEPS. Where did this year go!?

Put a brick on Tommy's head.
No more stepping and teeth and growing, geez.
Will you stop feeding that kid already?
But in all seriousness, I'm sorry, Erin. And I'm glad that you got together time this weekend, somehow that makes it easier to feel like we really are doing what's important with the time we have.

Oh Erin- I'm sorry you had to say goodbyes. I hope all is going as well as it can in that kind of situation. Thinking of you and your family.

But, I'm glad you had a good family weekend. And steps?!?! Too much!!! I'm sure pretty soon he'll be running everywhere! How fun!!!
