Soooo, Grandparents day was hard. It was so lovely and beautiful and hard. The love that grandparents have for their grandchildren … it was magical to watch them all interact with their sweet preschoolers. Mason and I hung … we played on the playground and when the tears started to roll down my checks, Mason leaned over and said in the most tender sweet voice ever as he threw his arm around my neck, “I love you mommy.”
Ahhhh, my heart sang. I sooooo needed that.
So this last week has been full of happiness, a bit of introspection and a lot of love. I have the best of friends, the best brother a person could ask for … the best loved ones … I’m so thankful. Thank you so much for all your love. I think the weirdest thing that I’ve been fighting with is that life goes on … it goes a million miles an hour on … sometimes you just gotta let go and sometimes fight it, I’ve been struggling with this … I sat by the pool on more than one evening just thinking, listening to the birds … smelling the BBQ in the neighborhood and listening to my children giggling as the dog chased them in the yard and remembering my happy times, even those that I’ve been so blessed to be a part of … Life, my life, is so full of them. I miss my grandma … but as Maren pointed out to me … she is here more now than before … I’m starting to grasp that in terms of her memory and my memories … but it was something that for me helped me appreciate how life moves on. One day I will be with her in Paradise but for now her memory is so close to me and I love that.
This week … so full of awesomeness! I got to photograph baby Preston as he entered the world … ah the best! Got to photograph two new babies … and hang with friends. I tell you it is amazing. I also got to hang with my family. Something that I so need to do more often … really hang with them. We’ve been walking to school and it is truly the best … we talk about the upcoming day and how the day went. I cherish that.
I’ll be posting some amazing images from my Napa engagement shoot. I’m a little over do for those … and so tomorrow … I promise.
