Zach.

He’s entering his second year of college this fall.

Over 600 miles away.

So when he’s here over the summer I have weeks, not months, to do all-the-stuff-I-wish-I-had-all-year-to-do.

Being a mama can be so hard on the heart.

One of the things on that “to-do” list is pictures.

Lots of pictures.

On this day we had driven to a specific spot where we’d hoped to take pictures.

When we arrived, though, it was already closed for the day.

But, in true Zach style, he was game to get a few shots right there. In the parking lot.

And even made me laugh in the process.

proceed with caution

a dirty secret in adoption
we don't celebrate gotcha day
there's no such thing as an easy adoption
if I can, you can.
co-sleeping, why we do it.
gawsh. the series.
crazy
affording adoption
