Your birthday is a special time to celebrate the gift of ‘you’ to the world.”






It’s official, my first baby is growing old- he just turned 12 yesterday. I know, he does not look 12, he looks a lot older. Maybe it is his serious, soulful expression, or maybe it’s his 5′ 9″ frame. I just look at him sometimes and wonder where the time has gone.
We took some time this morning and drove to this spot where a row of trees become magic with the early light. It did not disappoint. I’m sure there were drivers wondering what this crazy lady was doing standing on a step stool at the edge of a field (he’s 7″ taller than me, so yeah, I need a step stool).
Just as we were leaving the sunlight came in the right position to take this one, love the hazy backlight and warmth:

Happy Birthday, Michael!
