Thank you all so much.

I just want to say thank you for all the kind words & prayers for my family. I felt comfort in knowing that I was able to share him with you all.

My mom (the big reason I started this blog) will be flying in from the other side of the world Tuesday morning. So, Heather, Summer & I will be going to pick her up. From there, I'll be going to stay at Heather's house throughout the rest of the week. I don't know that I'll be able to update during that time, so here's one last quick post. You can probably expect a lot of photos when I come back because I WILL be taking my camera with me. Photography is comforting.

While the girls were napping this afternoon, I stepped out on the front porch to rock in my rocking chair & get a little quiet time to myself. When I opened the door, I found a little treasure. Now, I'm no bird expert, and I'm most definitely not a bird EGG expert, but I found the cutest little egg on our porch. (Don't ask me what kind, 'cause seriously...NOT a bird expert.) At first, I felt a little sad that the egg & it's contents would never reach it's full potential. But, then...then the photographer's brain kicked in, and I thought, "oh, wouldn't this make a cute little Springtime photo!?!" I'd seen a sweet little photo that Brenda Acuncias had done of her daughter & a cute little egg, so it inspired me to try it when Emma woke up. (If you visit her blog, you'll see a thumbnail of the photo there in her "about me" section.)

So, here you go. It is officially Springtime. (Which it has been for a while, but this week really feels extra "Springy" to me.)
