4 years is shocking to me. I cannot believe it has been 4 years since Benjamin made his hasty appearance. I remember it so clearly for many reasons. The journey from there to where we are today is incredible. I can't stress enough God's goodness in it all. His guidance daily still helps me through the tough days. I thought as time passed the scary and sad memories would begin to fade, they haven't, but watching him grow, learn, play and experience life makes them less frequent. I appreciate every minute I get to spend with him. He teaches me new things every day and I love how he just absorbs everything around him. He is funny and busy and crazy at times, but his love for me is pretty remarkable. I know all kids love there mom's like crazy, but I definitely feel a different connection with him...almost like he knows how much I fought for him.
The summer has officially started and I know its going to be a good one. We have some camping trips planned, lots of day trips planned and a lot of down time just hanging out together as a family. These next few months are the end of one chapter in our lives as in September Benjamin officially becomes a kindergartner. This next chapter is super exciting and scary all at the same time. I think he's going to do great in school, but it makes me a little sad that he's really not my baby anymore. I'm going to miss him.
Anyways, I hope your summer is safe and fantastic. I know ours will be.
