Hatchlings
We’re having a birthday here this week. How is it possible that my baby is about to turn five? It seems like not so long ago that he looked like this:
Ok, maybe not just like that.
This is still my favorite collection of photos from his earlier years.
And now here he is - very little that is still baby-like . . .
And even that last one is from nearly a year ago. It almost doesn’t count.
And starting tomorrow, I’ll be the mom of a five-year-old. . . with a son who’s getting ready for kindergarten . . .



















Happy birthday, Sam! I think 5 is a big deal. But so much fun! Enjoy your big kid!

Oh, those baby birds … So, so amazingly tiny and beautiful! And how do our own little hatchlings grow so fast? Happy Birthday to your sweet little guy!
Happy birthday, Sam! Love your hair
Happy Birthday Sam! I’m sure you were way cuter than those baby birds!
Aw, happy birthday!!! And my little one is almost 5. It makes me so sad. I absolutely love 4, and I’m almost done with 4 forever.
Oh Sam! You are so grown up. Not unlike another person I know who lives with me. Kindergarten. Wow.
