{these moments}: Nine

{these moments}  A Friday ritual.  Nine photos - some words - of moments from the past nine years.  Nine years of a littlest boy who brings big things into our family.  Big joy, big laughter and big love.  Moments I want to pause, savor and remember.

Happy Birthday, Drew Christopher.  Thanks for completing us, little man o' mine.

A boy is Truth with dirt on its face,
Beauty with a cut on its finger,
Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair,
and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket.
