summer is here and vacation is just around the corner. all though i know this summer will have it's work it will also have its moments of rest and play as well - and those i greatly look forward to and cherish. to spend all day together with my little boy and soak up the sun, the sea, the sunsets, the meals outside, the travels, the gathering of treasured friends, the moments on the yoga mat, the moments of silence, the rejuvenation in preparation for and the anticipation of the arrival of the newest little member of our family at the end of the season ~ ahhhh, summer, i welcome you with open arms.

i must say that this second time around with pregnancy feels much more grounded and present. with kai, i was so caught up in bliss for the whole 9 months (and still many days since) but with this one, i am much more acutely aware of everything - both good and worrisome. i have so many 'what ifs' this time around and some days i simply long for the bliss i felt before. don't get me wrong, i feel wonderful and so blessed to be in this position -- it's just that the worries, concerns, fears, and doubts seem much more real this time around. it is a lesson for me in trusting and letting go.
(i must admit that this is actually a portrait - as it was too difficult to set up without the help from j)

he always asks me now as he looks at my belly, "mama, where's the baby?" before he lays his head down on my chest to cuddle. and then he tells me all of the things he will teach this new little baby -
"i can teach them to roll their eyes, color, and to play with my stick..." (the stick is a little olive branch we found the other day and have had to carry with us on every walk since.) oh yes, mi amore, you will be such a wonderful big brother - so full of love.

this thursday i am thinking of the things i love most in this world right now...
the interest kai has in having a new little person to play with and teach to be big~ this little baby growing in my belly~ fresh strawberries~ sleeping in (ok, sleep in general)~ weekend morning breakfasts~ fresh cut flowers~ hearing from and reconnecting with old friends~ painting~ long walks with my little boy~ homemade chocolate chip cookies~ oh, and this video that j showed me tonight - it made me smile

it was just a little gift that quietly peeked out at me from the walls as we walked through the festive city. it was just a gentle nudge - and one that made me smile as i snapped this and went along my way.
*a little tune to lift your spirits as you walk today*

while on a walk with kai - looking for treasure - we came across this little leaf. i love that, when a little love lands right in your path - like the winds gently floated there just for us to find.
"Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit."
~Kahlil Gibran
**because this song is so sweet - may love find you today**

it was while we were on our way home from our adventure when i told katy - "look at that tree, i have to take a photo!" it was like the universe was sending a gentle little reminder down my way... and i didn't have to explain a thing to my friend - she just got it.

while wandering the streets of an inspiring old city, a casual glance downward reveals a scattering of random paper hearts. like tiny mini-reminders sprinkled along my path, they made me pause long enough to take in the experiences of my day, hold them close and then let them go into the streets like a scattering of pastel colored paper hearts floating in the breeze.

sometimes i fall so deeply in love with those everyday moments - the ones where i become simply caught up in the imagination of my little boy, the beauty evening's light casts on the tree tops, the strength i feel in the middle of an afternoon run - when the stress of my day fades off my shoulders and out of my thoughts, and the listen of a good song to set my mind at ease.
