memories.

for the past 5 or so years, you can pretty much guarantee that if it happened, then i took a picture of it.

while that makes for lots of photos, i'll never regret having that many.

it's memories of our family, that without photos, would only be images in our minds.

every so often, i like to sit down and look back through those old photos.  it's fun to see where we were 1 year ago, 2 years ago, etc.

this particular picture was taken in february 2009:

{thanks to allyson for snapping it}

that's milo i'm holding hands with...

such a little peanut.

i can almost taste and smell the memories associated with this picture.

shortly after it was taken, i found out i was pregnant with kohen and the sickness began.

unfortunately, i still can't get over associating spring time with being completely and totally sick.

thank goodness these peanuts are worth it.

so, who knew 2 years later we would have added {nearly} 2 more kids to our family?

makes me wonder what our family will look like in 2 more years.
