i’ve had the opportunity to spend some extra one on one with eli lately.  he was sick last week, so while dylan had a full week of school and a birthday party, eli stayed home with me.  and it couldn’t have come at a better time.  my boy is so special, and i couldn’t imagine how my life felt full before he took his first breath, and made me a mommy.  i had always heard people talk about how the relationship between a boy and his mother is something very special, but i couldn’t have imagined being loving and being loved like this.

a few pictures i took of eli a couple of weekends ago.  i can’t put into words how much i love this little man…

my eli.
