 Each night at dusk before bed you both beg to chase fireflies.

How could we ever deny you of that?

 172|365

My little chef. You learned to make my sauce, it was delicious. We talked about 

how much we miss the enormous meals we shared in Italy. You

asked for clams, I was fresh out.

 173|365

Again, with the fireflies.

This time in Tennessee. They were happier there, they danced.

 174|365

Fresh air and soggy shoes.

 175|365

It's not perfect, but it's ours, and we are free.

 176|365

We drove five hours home. You fell asleep on hour 4.75. 

 178|365

I feel you, I really do. 

 179|365

It's that time again. We are moving. You are watching way too 

much t.v. so I can be productive. I'm sorry.

180|365

 It's Shark Week, the packing can wait.

 181|365

I feel like this particular image speaks volumes. 

You are amazing and can concur all of the change that we are

constantly facing. You are brave and confident and always have each other.

I love you.

 183|365

See ya laters are hard, but you guys make it look good.

 184|365

Patiently waiting.

 185|365

It's hard to be small.
Somedays are harder then others.

 186|365

We were delayed for hours. We played a million games of bingo. 

 187|365

We made it. Friends united, new home ahead of us.

 188|365

 189|365

It doesn't rain much in San Diego.

 192|365

Lana and Sam

 193|365

He knows better...

 194|365

Waiting on dinner.

 195|365

Lake Poway paddle boat.

 196|365

This is the first time this has ever happened. You must have been very tired.

197|365
Yep. That's you. Fabulous.

 198|365

Creative distractions.

 199|365

Brussel sprout prep, your favorite job.

 200|365

No, the other right...

 201|365

This is a terrible photo, but seeing you do this, I couldn't stop laughing!

 202|365

Pie eating contest! Lana won. I had my money on her.

 203|365

Such a peaceful moment... with a pig.

 204|365

The night before we move to our new home. You

are really going to miss this extended family we have.

 205|365

Just waiting on the movers.

 206|365

What? This is totally normal.

And yes, we are having cereal for dinner. It's been a long month 

without Dad, and now we are up to our elbows in an unpacked house. 

Once again, you two are rockstars.

 207|365

Time-out turned nap.

 208|365

I even let you watch t.v. while eating dinner. Survival mode.

 209|365

 211|365

113 degrees.

 213|365

Less than 24 hours before Dad arrives. The 24 hour stomach bug
took you out.

214|354

 He drove all night, just so he could

be there when you woke up. 

 216|365

 219|365

These are some badass bowlers.

 220|365

Making.

 221|365

The constant dinner battle is real. I see no end in sight.

 222|365

My favorite.

 223|365

"I fix your boo-boo, mama."

 225|365

The night before the first day of school. 

So much excitement.

226|365

Just like that you are a big kid.
