Little Man’s 2nd Birthday

January 9, 2012 By Erika Zane

9 Jan

Two years.  I can’t believe how fast it’s gone!

Sometimes when I think about the rest of my current pregnancy of at least 2.5 more months, it feels like forever.  It’s so not, though.

These past two years flew by and I feel like I rushed through most of it.  Don’t you wish you could go back in time and tell yourself to slow down?  I do.  I wish I could tell the younger me that there’s no rush.  Everything’s going to go plenty fast without rushing through it.  But hey – I’m pretty sure everyone says that at one point or another.  All I can do now is enjoy every moment.  Soak it all in.

With that in mind (and also I’m copying others), I’ve decided to put together a slide show of Little Man’s first two years of life.  I would have limited it to the past year, but ::hangs head in shame:: I didn’t do this last year.

I can’t and don’t want to imagine my life without him.  He is the most significant blessing in our life and I’ve adored every second with him.  Even the tantrums.  In retrospect anyway.

It’s about 4 minutes long.  I tried to cut it down as much as I could, but it’s hard to fit two years of pictures.  Especially since he’s our first child – I do understand photo ambition can die down a bit over time.

Without further adieu, LM’s 2nd Birthday slideshow – Two Years of Life:

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
