Honestly, wasn’t this just yesterday?!
Somehow, while we weren’t looking…
we got here.
So incredibly proud of these two sweet, smart, wonderful kids.
It all goes by so crazy fast.
But the love has always been the same, from there to here.
With all my heart and with all the next big, beautiful steps…
Beckham and Lily…
I love you.
Grammy
Oh, this awesome guy. He is so good at this beloved game.
This kid ‘s been able to do something that he loves with passion and intensity for most of his life.
All the work, all the practice, all the long hours, all the practice, all the injuries, all the practice, all the recovery time, all the practice—
has helped make him the awesome guy that he is today–on the field and off.
And even though this is the view I usually get–(my poor Grammy eyes!) and I often have to be told what’s actually happening moment by moment…
still…
I do know incredible when I see it.
along with everybody else.
On the last day of November–alllll those weeks ago- haha– April and Lily came over and gave me an amazing surprise.
Ok, yes, they brought me a yummy cinnamon roll that Lily made and some hot chocolate, but the REAL surprise was…..
this beautiful box…
with all it’s mysterious littler boxes….
that April’s family filled up with…
all kinds of magical Christmasy things!
There were candy canes and water bottle stickers and brown sugar fudge…
yummy lip gloss…
a soft, fluffy wash cloth…
and even a ridiculous Perfect Man made of chocolate.
Ohhhhh Aprilllll. Hahaha.
One box held heavenly soft plaid socks…
another had a chocolate marshmallow Santa–that only April and I truly appreciate. Heh.
There were lovely ornaments…
chocolates and more ornaments…
and MORE chocolate!!!
I especially loved the teeny, tiny Mrs. Claus cup ornament.
You know, I always wanted to be Mrs Claus when I grew up.
I’m not even kidding.
Best of all–each of those different boxes came with a sweet little note from Hazel, Lily, Beckham, Jacob or April that I will love and cherish forever.
Thank you so much my sweethearts.
You made it like Christmas every single day.
Congratulations boys!! Way to go Beckham!!
You guys are incredible.
Such a joy to watch!!
