Bittersweet

my prince charming is growing big and strong
he just doing it at such a rapid pace . . .

everyone warns you it happens this way, but it really has to be your babe who grows in your arms to appreciate the bittersweet wonder that it truly is.


Be still my heart.

still.

still.

still.

Sweet moment fill this space.



Mr. memory come and remember, be my constant companion.



Sketch your beauty into my mind, hide your wonder there to keep.



5 beautiful months.

A lifetime in 5 beautiful months.




*I cannot end this post without encouraging all if my readers who are waiting on God's perfect timing by sharing that I bought the outfit Wynn is wearing in this post six years before he was here to wear it.



Be Blessed,

Erin, he is getting so big and is so beautiful!

I have a little hope chest of sorts filled with baby clothes (mostly girls-LOL) and with us deciding to wait until hubby is done his Master's Degree, some days I feel like that time is so far away. Thanks for sharing that-wow six years-God is so faithful!

Your baby is a doll, perfect in every way, with a smile that makes me smile back.

Your baby is so precious! Soak up each and every moment. Try your best to enjoy even diaper duty (in your ruffles, no less)--it will be over before you know it! Thanks for sharing the beautiful journey with all of us. God is so good!

So beautifully said and so very true! We waited faithfully for 7 1/2 years for our Gracelyn Faith. God is so great!

You two are cuter than a bug's ear.
