Tomorrow is Kevin's 33rd birthday, and late last night I found myself wasting a fantastic amount of time clicking through all of the pictures I've taken in summers past.
I stumbled onto this one, out of a set from Kevin's birthday two years ago.
My oh my, what a sweet little midget Jackson was, perched on my hip in his stripey summer onesie. I could eat him with a spoon, right out of the picture. Right after I polish off that french silk pie.
Then I realized that, already, we are almost to this baby age with Marin.
Then I realized that this was a mere six months before I would learn of my pregnancy with Marin, just after we moved out of the little house we were standing in, during the process of not selling it, just as I was trying to lose my final ten pounds in order to declare myself thin forever.
Boy what I would write to this girl in a letter.
Time really does move amazingly fast the older you get, doesn't it? I wonder where we will be in two more years from now. I wonder if today will feel like just yesterday, then?
Happy Birthday, Kev.
(Green jello cake as requested this year. Nineteen pounds heavier, good gift, next house, different baby eating from my fork.)
I was so skinny before I had my daughter, I didn't even realize how skinny I was until now, in hindsight. I would give anything to fit back in size 6 jeans again.
