As we pulled into the gravel parking lot of Nana\u2019s Bloomers Green house I could feel the girl\u2019s excitement grow. We hit a wall of humidity as the smell of potting soil surrounded us, the sight of so many beautiful flowers made it hard for their little feet to hold still. The second I let them go they ran from flower to flower smelling with exaggerated sniffs of toddlers. The wonder of this new place only increased when our friends showed up. Together they explored each green house looking for ladybugs and trying not to be tempted to pick every flower they saw.<\/p>\n

Even though I had to make sure every flower wasn\u2019t in shreds after we walked by, there is nothing more wonderful than getting to see a child\u2019s first: the first time they try a yummy new food, the first time they go to a new place, or the first time they accomplish something new. Ember is only three and I am already longing to go back to the days she was a squishy ball of rolls. And I still miss Elysse\u2019s tiny newborn toes but she\u2019s almost two! Life flies by and it\u2019s hard to remember it all. I\u2019m so grateful to be able to use my photography to hold on to those moments and freeze them, so I can hold on to those firsts a little longer.<\/p>\n
