So I'm not exactly going backwards, I'm skipping around a bit.
I can't mention one birthday without mentioning another, it just wouldn't seem fair. Because of the busy-ness around here, and because, perhaps, once you are married and officially out of the house it is no longer viewed as your mother's responsibility to plan, create, and provide the celebration (it certainly doesn't mean she doesn't love you like the dickens), Taylor's birthday last Saturday was quietly celebrated via cell phone towers and memories shared amongst his parents and siblings.
At least on our end.
Taylor worked a nice long shift until 10:30pm... welcome to adulthood, son :-)
I would have liked to post something sentimental and sweet, but, as all bloggers know and pretend not to, posting takes time. And those endearing, tender, thoughtful posts take even more. Time to sit, reflect, and write is becoming more of a rarity, so I have to take whatever time I find and do the best I can with what I have.
In retro-celebration, I thought I would post a few recent pics I have of the eldest child-of-my-womb, fruit of my loins (Biblical descriptions are the best, don't you think? So... descriptive), aging ever-so-gracefully.
He was in desperate need of a trim when he came to visit for Lex's graduation. I don't believe he'd had a haircut since his wedding... 5 months earlier. Oh my. I couldn't wait to get my hands scissors on him.
That's better ;-)
We loved having him and Lynnea here for a few days, even if they were packed full of long graduation-related ceremonies.
Taylor loves to ham it up for pictures. I keep telling him that someday he'll regret that nearly every picture of him is silly... he doesn't seem to believe me. Besides, who am I to say? Maybe he'll be glad he pulled a crazy face or a quirky pose every time a camera turned in his direction.
(So sweet. I love Lynnea's hand on his waist, and his on her arm. Ahhhh... young love.)
Tay and Dakota. Double bacon cheese.
Happy Birthday week, Tay!
We love you!!
