ch-ch-changes


now we are six, no longer five. 
we're a different family than we were last month.  
all of a sudden, 
kenn and i became parents to 

a newborn


a kindergartner

a three-year old

&
a fifth-grader

this newest change of seasons explains some things, 
like the exhaustion kenn feels or how affected i am with my continued need to be still and heal.  
yet it's just a season, 
and these are days that will practically fly away from us.  
these are the days, the moments i could miss 
and one day 
i probably will. 

before school began this week, we took some time to list 
the good memories we have from our summer together.  
these times change us.  
what a great way 
to welcome the change 
while celebrating what's been.  

today i'd like to celebrate what is, 
before another change begs a welcome.
