change is good

our sweet boy will be two
in one month.
23 months ago, our world changed forever.
mornings became sweeter,
our hearts grew bigger,
being still became our new entertainment,
and we developed an intimate relationship with our washing machine.



and now,
our boy's second summer is here.
our days are filled with
strawberries and ice cream,
hanging around with cousins,
splashing and singing while
wearing as little as possible.



these days are fleeting
as we try to hold on to each second
in stillness, chaos and awe.
