Ready, Set, Hike!

Earlier this month our little boy ended up meeting face to face with the corner of our indoor wall while playing football with papa. Unfortunately neither papa or I were close enough to save him. Ethan’s forehead turned bright red and the wall ended up with a dent. Luckily though Ethan is doing fine. The doctor checked him out and all is well.

As you probably guessed it our little guy is an active 1 1/2 year old. Visiting a park is definitely up his alley.  This way he can run around freely with the fear he's going to run into something. So, a couple of weekends ago we did just that- visited the park. With mamarazzi in tow the boys were off to the open field. The same field where his papa has played rugby before.

Watching them "play" a football game is a moment I am forever thankful I captured with my camera. As a mama, one of my favorite things to do is to take candid pictures of my boys. Capturing the moments as they occur.

Then as I was clicking away something occurred to me.

I saw my son in his high school uniform running out to the field for a Friday night football game. Mark & I were out on the stands cheering him on. Then I blinked again. I was right back to the park hearing my boys laughing out loud. At that moment I quietly thought, "Not ready for Ethan to be in high school. I just want this moment move as slowly as possible because I am enjoying the 'good ol days' right at this very moment." 

I love my boys. I humbly thank God for blessing me with moments I know I will forever treasure in my heart and revisit often.
