Seasons

I took Camilla to the park today.  She immediately went towards her favorite swing set.  As I was pushing her in the swing, I noticed the fall colors on the tree in the background and I began to think about how many different seasons Camilla has sat in this exact same swing.  I thought about how fast the time has gone, how much fun she's had and how she's grown and changed.  But she still giggles the same way when she is pushed in the swing.  It's hard to believe that this time last year she was only just a few months old.  It's amazing how much kids change in such a short time.  She went from laying, to sitting on her own, to rolling, to crawling, to walking and finally, to running!  So much has happened in this past year. 

Finally big enough to swing!!

Giggling with Daddy in the winter time!

Summer Swinging

Autumn Fun

I was also thinking last night about how Mr. Stannix and I have been married for just over 2 years.  So many changes in such a short time.  I love all the different seasons of life.  I've been trying to find joy in every season I experience (even the morning sickness season which I hate more than winter). 

The last few nights, Mr. Stannix and I have been able to spend some time together watching a movie/snuggling on the couch.  It's such special time together.  He lets me sit sideways on the couch and shove my freezing feet between his leg and the couch.  He also rubs my freezing feet, without being asked (now that's love!!).  We laugh together, we snuggle together and enjoy every moment we have together.  Last night, we watched The Young Victoria together.  It was so fun to watch a sort of chick-flick, it doesn't happen very often. We laughed, made fun of the guys hair because it looked like he stuck it in a waffle iron, and enjoyed.  I loved the line from the movie where the prince is explaining how much he loves the princess and he says "you are my whole existence". Call me cheesy, but I liked it.  I love that Mr. Stannix makes me feel like I'm his whole existence.  He does so much for me, and he's always there for me during all our seasons of life.  It's great to have someone to count on, and someone who understands me and is patient with me. 

Here's to many more seasons together!!
