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.
