What a busy time this has been. A beautiful wedding, a turn-around trip to Mammoth and spending a vacation day at home with my two most favorite people in the world. There wasn't a place I would rather be then in the pool enjoying all the giggles from Eva and Eric. Water splashing, swallowing, wet little face and a proud glowing daddy. I am a lucky mama. That is for sure.

Now and Then

I sometimes catch myself when with Eva, on any normal day, wondering what a simple task like coloring, playing ball or anything really, will be like next year or even in 6 month from now. I know that each holiday, each event in our life will be different over the years as she gets older.

(NOTE: She DID NOT get a taste of beer, despite her death grip on the cup!)

Last night, I was remembering how last year on the 4th of July, she slept soundly through the fireworks while Eric, his parents and I watched in the back yard.

This year we were in backyard to enjoy the fireworks show once again, but this time, Eva stayed up to watch with us:
I am so excited for next year! And everything in between.

I hope everyone had a great holiday.
