.:::seventh:::.

we're in our seventh trip around the sun with our little man. we were married for seven years when he made us parents. seven is my favorite number. you may already know how i feel about 28. there's 4 in our family, that's perfect math as far as i'm concerned. the perfect reason to celebrate and enjoy all the sevens happening around here right up till that big day in november when he wears this magical number for a year.  

we had a BIG party to celebrate the first one

.......

celebrated his seventh season of peace, joy and love.

.......

seven of snow. he loves snow.

.......

he's in his seventh summer.

seventh season of beach-going.

(and of those trunks... )

.......

is in his seventh season as a sailor.

.......

seven seasons of hiking

.......

still a voracious reader. i used to read to him while he grew inside of me. currently we have 56 books checked out, mostly about hall of fame baseball players.

.......

in his seventh year of his favorite food. (technically more perhaps, it was my favorite thing to eat while pregnant with him)

.......

and now i must stop this. i started putting these together a month ago, i had been loving thinking about all the sevens. i started looking through the photographs of when he was little and i wanted to stay there for days. everyone is right; it goes so fast. i need to come back to the present so i don't blink and it's gone. i'm going to go enjoy the rest of the sevens yet to come and celebrate this little man of mine.
