Things I Never Want to Forget

Recent trip to the zoo

This season of our lives is just so fun! Emery is at the age where just about everything she does and says is hilarious and Case is just growing up and turning into a little man. Makes me sad to think about him going to school in another year.

I wanted to write a quick post on a few things that have happened recently that I never want to forget. Sweet and funny moments that I will cherish for a lifetime.

Every night, James or I one lay down with Case in his bed until he falls asleep. This may sound high-maintenance but he doesn't nap during the day anymore, so by bedtime he is wiped out so we aren't having to lay in there very long. For the past week or so he's asked to hold my hand. So we just lay side-by-side with our hands clasped together. After a few minutes he drifts off and I find myself laying there just a bit longer than I have to...savoring the sweet moment that I know won't last forever.

And then a week or so ago I picked the kids up from school and we stayed after for a while to play on the playground since the weather was so beautiful. Emery was walking up ahead of me and she kept saying something and patting the top of her head, but I couldn't really make out what she was saying. So I caught up with her and listened carefully and just cracked up. She was patting the top of her head and saying "hot mess." I guess she's overheard me refer to her hair as a hot mess a time or two! :)

Love these two so much!
