it's my boys birthday

We woke up to snow on his birthday last year. I remember waking up really early, for some reason I couldn't sleep, and took this as the sun was rising. Still one of my favorite photos.

I'm safe inside this morning listening to my girls and their cousins laugh and thinking about my boy. It's his birthday today, but I already told you that. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world and I blame him for it. Thought I would share with you why.
