Peek-a-boo!


Sometimes you catch a shot that just says it all. This IS Aron at 29 months of age. Curious, playful and oh so much fun.

Ladybug, Ladybug

All things are new through the eyes of a child. I am amazed as I watch him learn and delight in the world around him every day. This tiny Ladybug is just an example of the purity of his interest in the things around him. I often hear people describe this age as the "terrible two's". There are difficult parts of each stage for sure, but I would never say they are terrible. He can communicate now, brush his own teeth and gives the most genuine, unsolicited hugs and "I love you"'s. Terrific, touching, thoughtful, truly amazing, maybe but never terrible. It just goes by too fast. Aron is such a gift and I am so, so thankful for these sweet years.

Aron and I headed home for what I am calling our Tour de Tejas 2007 a few weeks ago. Whew! We put a few miles on mom's car while we were there, but it was worth every one! We saw some old friends, played with cousins and even spotted a few of the early Blue Bonnets. We were also able to attend the Christening of one of our newest friends, Nathan Church in Houston which was a very special day. It was a good trip all around.
