handsome head #3...

So my handsome head #3 turned 5. 
Five years old is very old when it's your baby. My last child. My last boy.
The last one who still smells me when he snuggles, like he can't get enough.
The last one to carry in my arms.
The last chance to get it right. (impossible)

Is last the best of all the game?
Because it feels more like in this game, last is ripping my heart out.

It's a good thing hearts can be healed.

Is it wrong to cry when leaving a Halloween party at a pre-school party?
It was my last time...

I love your writing. Seriously, you have a gift! Not to mention your kids are DARLING. Your baby is such a handsome kid. I think we need to set up my 5 year old with yours! :)

IT's so true. Our babies are five. We always thought we would be pregnant and nursing for eternity and it's over. It's bitter sweet for sure. You are too cute for crying at the Halloween party. See ya Saturday!!

His pictures are SO good! It is crazy when babies grow up, mine is six!

Luke will always want his awesome mom to be around, just think of all the fun you're in for :)
