Almost Wordless: Little Man’s Best Friend and Spring

March 21, 2012 By Erika Zane

21 Mar

Yesterday marked the first day of spring and God blessed us with the best day ever. It was in the 70s and sunny all day. The perfect day for Little Man and our dog Rue to spend some quality time outside!

Two years ago, when LM was born, I worried about the neglect our dog was getting. I knew she loved him. She stood guard next to his stroller when we went out and cried with him ever.single.time he cried, from day one. But she was no longer our baby. We tried to take her out for walks whenever we could, but she didn’t get nearly as much playtime as she wanted. It took toll on her and it broke my heart, but now? Now, LM plays with her constantly. She is, without a doubt, his best bud.

Since I’m increasingly limited in mobility and one on one time with Little Man, we took full advantage of the beautiful day. I sat on the deck with my camera and caught as many moments of LM and our pup as I could. Here are some of my favorites:

Baby #2 Pregnancy Tracking: 40 wks »

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.
