I found a penny in the parking lot of the library at Hanscom AFB today - I always keep my eyes open for pennies because they make Eve light up like a Christmas tree when one is found. Her simple joy is pure delight to me. After I handed it to her and watched her gush, I realized just how sad I am going to be when lost but found pennies don't thrill her anymore. I'll probably still be picking up pennies from the parking lot when Eve is eighteen just hoping to see that special smile of hers....
Why must we grow up?

Beautiful pic of Eve, Andrea! Hope all is well. You are in my prayers.
I agree...why must they grow up?
And the bigger question why so fast:(
Love the picture of her hugging the tree.
And I agree as well, why can't we always keep our sight on the simple pleasures of life? I love how Hunter will still dress up in costumes and go running around the house. But I know he won't be doing THAT when he turns 18!
Madison is almost 11 and she still lights up on some things. She is a very compassionate child. Eve will still light up....she is your baby.
"may she never lose her sense of wonder" just remember that :)
Mentioning Hanscom brings back so many memories for me! I was there from 2nd-8th grades and always wanted to go back.
Oh I couldnt agree more, growing up is no fun. The only consolation I find in it is knowing one day my kids will be parents and then they too will know the great joy of seeing their children light up over the simplest of things. I just wish we could freeze frame time for a little whie first:)
That's a good question! I'm already dreading this little one growing up, and he's not even here yet lol. On a good note, though, at least you'll always have the memories!
Beautiful Pictures, as usual. :) I always secretly wish that my kids would stay this age for just a while longer. :0)
You are now the second blogger to make me cry this morning. I dunno, must be extra sensitive today or something. I was at a Dave Crowder concert here in Pensacola and I too remember it being LOUD...
