I can’t get enough of this unbridled bliss. 

How I love the way laughter consumes him.  He squirms, kicks his legs, giggles, squeals, drools, splutters, and shrieks.  It’s an all-encompassing thing, and a beauty to behold. 

If only I could drink it in and find a way to make it last.  To make it permeate all of my own being.  The way it permeates all of his.  The things we can learn from children.  They are so pure.

This has been sitting in draft for quite some time.  Our anniversary was April 1st.  Deliberately.  So as not to forget.  (Somehow, we nearly manage to forget, all the same.)  We ventured out with our little one and caught ‘the dinner train.’  Destination: Winery.  Dinner is served enroute, there is wine tasting and souvenir shopping at the winery, and dessert is served on the return trip.  It’s a nice little outing. 

We had some fun moments while waiting for the train.  Me and my blue eyed boys.  I can’t imagine life without them.  I have a family of my own, after all these years.  It was a happy anniversary. 

I am very blessed.

You are very blessed AND very, very beautiful.

Happy anniversary, a little late.

Such love and joy shows in the pictures. Yes it would be nice to keep them little and cuddly but time passes and there are new things to learn about this person you are raising.
