3 Boys

{this is a part of a series in 2013, a picture of each of my children *almost* every week of this year}

~ The middle of May, just before your sister is born ~

Elliot - Oh little E, my heart is so sad for you right now. You're giving up your dearly loved position to another and I know it's not going to be easy for you. I have adored having you as my baby for so long now. You've been such an awesome and easy child, and so hilarious! And now you too will be a big brother. It's time to grow up little man.

Monty - Today you graduated from Kindergarten at Celebration Academy and you were so proud of that rite of passage. We could tell by your attitude and your smile how very important you felt. It melted our hearts. You're amazing and so smart. We love you like crazy!

Parker - Caught you jumping on your bed in your room before bedtime tonight, chatting to yourself about this and that. Even though you're coming to the end of your 2nd grade year, and despite the  shocking amount of knowledge you have, I still think you seem so young. And in this moment it was proof to me. I'm thankful that I don't yet feel like time has flown away with you.
