finn goes to the park

we love this place. especially around 6 pm. the light is intoxicating.

you see, each day i watch darkness slowly creep over our backyard and i feel a momentary twinge of sadness. another day, another sweet day is gone. finn is one day older.

and then i quickly remember my ace in the hole. as the sunlight escapes the rest of the neighborhood, we head to the park and find it still ablaze in the most glorious of light. its like finding three more m&m's tucked in the corner of the bag just when you thought they were all gone.

and it makes these precious baby days last just a little bit longer.

those toes are like candy to me. each one like a delicious little jelly bean.


and this boy, all awash in this golden light, this angel of a boy....well, he is my heaven.
