On another note

Tonight I'm grateful for my boy.

 Last night, I scrolled through pictures of him from the last year. I can't believe how fast he's grown and how much he's changed. It makes me sad. He still looks like such a baby here.

But it also makes me grateful that I've experienced almost every moment of it all. He's been through a lot this last year and he's taken it all in his cool stride. I don't know what I would do without my Van. (I know you don't like that claim Val, but it's true.)

One Among Many

Things I'm grateful for tonight.

That this sweet, tiny thing beat the odds and became (or remained) a determined, vibrant, curious little lady.
