My brain almost exploded at that time. It still makes me giggle with glee to think about that trip.
Anyway, I happened to be looking through some old picture files and found this one:
She's holding an orange, freshly picked from an orange tree in the backyard of our gracious hosts. I was just getting used to my new camera at the time, hoping to get good enough to take some pretty shots of the baby due about four months later.
Bean was entering into that delightful stage of curiosity and glee over everything.
It was one of, if not the best vaction I've ever taken. I remember stressing a bit about the new baby's arrival, wondering how I'd manage, how I'd love both of them equally.
I was pregnant enough to show a smidge, but not enough to be completely uncomfortable.
I wasn't sure life could get better.
It did.
And I know that next year with our new little family member, I'll look back on the pictures from this month and think the same thing.
And that? That's awesome.

To Kevin:
ReplyDeleteNope you heard about it a year ago however you were quite busy opening a church the week we were there so your forgetfulness makes quite a bit of sense.
