"Little boy, do you have any idea how much your mama loves you?" I find myself saying these words...constantly. It's hard to express the swell of emotion that these two little people create in me. Days like today make me want to try though. The days where we don't go anywhere, or have any obligations, and we just stay home and revel in the beauty of life here on our little piece of the world. The light in our backyard today was a.m.a.z.i.n.g, and Ben took my phone and started snapping pictures of Samuel and I playing in the yard. I love them so much because usually I am the one taking pictures! I wanted to post them all, but here are a few that I settled on.
Samuel comes to me at least 10 times a day, takes anything I might have out of my hand and sets it down , grabs my hand, and tugs me toward the door, begging to go outside. He comes alive when he is outside! He is happy to stay in the yard for hours if I let him; picking up sticks, puffing at dandelions, and bringing me leaves. As you may notice in the pictures above, he also takes his pants off as soon as the opportunity presents itself...just an all around natural guy ;)
