Where did Fall and Winter go?

Where did Fall and Winter go?  

Did they both pass through;  falling leaves, then snow?

Why were they in such a hurry?  Did they even say goodbye?

Looking back through photographs, it makes me wonder why.

We had such fun together during Fall and Winter days.

From twirling in your tutu, to making soccer plays,

you made each moment special, and I'm glad that it was I

who walked with you and held your hand as the days flew by.

I take all of these photographs so that you'll always know

just how much I love you and love to watch you grow.

As the seasons change, so will your hands, your heart, your smile,

but one thing remains constant: I'm your mother; you're my child.

 So, let's keep walking hand in hand; why stop to reminisce?

For if my footsteps fall behind,  just think of all I'll miss.

And I'm not going to cry as the seasons come and go,

for the memories made today will still be mine tomorrow.

Once upon a time there was a little fish...

Please excuse the extremely late blog post.  I'm just a couple of seasons behind, but using a second of free time (which is hard to come by) to try and get a little closer to my goal of being "caught up."  Is there such a thing?  

We had a wonderful Summer here at My Fair Laney.  I have already shared many of our adventures in the previous "The Best of Summer" post.  However, it is now that I am truly sharing the BEST of our summer, which all started when Anna Scott turned into a fish.  She was not a big fan of water during swim lessons in the Spring.  Just ask her friend McNeill.  :)  Homewood has a brand new pool/recreation center right by our house that we were looking so forward to being apart of, but we just knew we'd be spending our summer days at the park intstead.  That was until one random day when Anna Scott decided she was not going to miss out on the fun.  She became a fish overnight, jumped right in, and hardly came up for air the whole summer long!  

Here are some of my favorite pictures of our little fish in and out of the water this summer.

Here are just a few others that I haven't shared yet on the blog.  

Stay tuned as I finally document the Fall season which came and went all too fast.  Is it really already Christmastime?!  Don't go away... We'll be right back.
