My little boy is turning six today and these pictures from a year ago caught my eye and reminded me how important it is to stop and smell the roses. He's growing so fast and I want to soak every moment with him in and savor every drop.
I try really hard to instill a love and appreciation for the beauty of God's creation in my kids. We really do have so much to be thankful for in our lives. The simple pleasures of green grass underfoot, fresh cool creek water, the shelter and majesty of giant Cypress trees, the loyalty of a new pup, and the freedom to run are all things we live with and can easily take for granted. But I want my children to pause when they see a beautiful sunset, take in the smell of the Mountain Laurel blossoms and the sweet musk of the Sycamore trees. And I never want to lose the ability to view the world through their eyes.

Happy birthday my sweet sonshine! You bring my life such joy. I treasure every day with you and love you with every ounce of my soul. Keep being you...God's perfect little you.
Love,
Mommie
