Will I Remember?

A decade or two from now, will I remember Ben, standing at the front window driving his cars back and forth on the windowsill?  Will I remember the sound of his infectious little giggle or his nonsensical babbling?  Will I remember that he calls jam, “jubby” or Buddy the cat, “Bobish”?  All of these moments, all of these seemingly mundane, glorious moments will slowly be replaced by new ones.  My toddler will morph into a child, an older Ben, a different Ben as time passes.  Sometimes I think back to a year ago and wonder if I really remember what life was like with a nine month old?  Do I remember all the little things he did that I loved or are they all just faded memories by now?  Life passes quickly and it feels like my baby is slipping away.  I love who he is now and I can’t wait to see whom he grows up to be, but sometimes I miss who he was.  Slow down little man, let's push pause for awhile, it’s going by way too fast...

Getting Back Into the Swing of Things

I’ll admit, I’ve had a hard time getting back into the swing of things since Boris went back to work.  Life is quieter, slower, a little less exciting.  Our calendar was so full throughout August that it took Ben and I awhile to get back into our groove at home alone together.  One of the things I’ve had a surprisingly hard time getting back into is blogging.  I took a little computer break in August (which was much needed and really quite wonderful).  But as a result, I’ve had difficulty finding the inspiration to sit down and share our lives once again.  We created so many wonderful memories this summer; I’m hoping to play catch up very soon.  

In the meantime, when did this happen?  The leaves are quickly turning lovely shades of red, orange and yellow...

Happy Sixth Wedding Anniversary Boris

Six years ago, I married a man who has added so much richness and fullness to my life.  Boris has stood by my side through every obstacle and accomplishment we’ve encountered throughout our life together.  We work seamlessly as a team and grow closer to one another with each passing year.  Boris is the most amazing, dedicated father to Ben and I can’t imagine walking this path with anyone other than him.  Happy sixth wedding anniversary Boris.
