Growing in the Season

       The plants and the little person are both growing like crazy. Every time I look at back at pictures, even over just a few weeks, I am amazed how quickly they both change. It is a clear reminder that these seasons, both the summer and the special time with Jayney are fleeting, and ever changing. I love seeing the change that happens in our garden each summer; plants transforming quickly from seedlings to buds to a beautiful blooming flower. This summer I am also seeing so many changes in Jayney too. At the start of this season I felt like I still had a baby but now I see her growing into a little girl right before my eyes. From walking to swiftly scurrying and learning talk to showing emotions, she is blossoming more every day!  I want to soak up each day and hold on to the sweet little moments because I know they will be gone in the blink of an eye. Soon it will be a new season, with joys and struggles to claim its own, but this time right now will never be here again. They only thing I can do is savor it, learn from the hard times and know how blessed we are to be given such joy in our life. 

    Oh and I may have over-compensated for my fear of forgetting any one particular moment by taking far too many pictures.

Finally starting to look like summer!
