first love

my heart beats a little faster, my tummy feels queasy and water wells up in my eyes when i reflect on moving away from the kinsley and mason friendship.

who could have guessed that a little boy and a little girl could grow up together and remain buddies despite his "all boy" and her "all girl" passions.

maybe it's because i adore his mom and we created playdates so that we could spend time together.

maybe it's because the dads have an awesome friendship and text more often than ben and i do.

or maybe, just maybe, it's because they have a rare bond that is all their own.

they were in diapers together. diapers. 





mason has always been kinsley's protector.  







we were in the mountains a few weeks ago and one morning ben walked in their room and witnessed kinsley standing on her tippy toes while mason hung down from the top bunk.  they were sharing a good-morning kiss.  it wasn't the first.
these pictures don't even scratch the surface of all the memories and fun they have had.  what a complete joy it has been.  we are totally teaching them to skype.

That is an amazing progression. And each one of those pix brings up memory after memory. It just hit me that they have spent all but 1 halloween together. He will miss her like crazy. I will miss her like crazy. Can you save this post for their wedding?
