Time flies.
Two months ago I was counting down the days until we met in California to meet Jaxon for his fourth birthday Disneyland present. I imagined that when we were reunited again we would run towards each other in slow motion, each step getting closer and closer until meeting at arms length at which point we would collide and fold into one another. Embraced. It wasn't like that at all. It was better. Much, much better.
Jaxon walked towards me and then diverted his path when he spotted Lincoln. They had their 'Kodak moment' embrace (way to steal my moment Lincoln!) but really, just watching their happiness made my heart feel warm and fuzzy. Then Jaxon looked in my direction, looked away and then did a double take. (I knew I should have pulled my new bangs back!) Jaxon realized who I was and his face lit up so brightly with a smile that is forever burned into my memory. 'Hi auntie.' He casually walked over to me as I squatted down to hug him. 'Hi Jaxon.' We continued to stare at each other smiling. Then he sweetly said, 'I reaaaalllly missed you.' His eyes welled up with tears and he admitted, 'I thought I was never going to see you again.' My heart melted and my moment was much much better than I imagined it to be.
Time flew.
Before I knew it I was giving Jaxon an Eskimo kiss at the airport. No tears were shed as we signed (ASL) 'I love you' in the air. Then I assured Jaxon (and myself) that we will see each other again soon. I will start counting those days, starting now.
This one makes me laugh out loud!
Sweet boy.
The other sweet boy.
Snow white ride with 'mona' and 'grandpa'.
Lincoln used to hold my pocket this very same way. Love this.
After we arrived in Oregon Jaxon said, 'Remember when I went to Goofy's house?!'
I love LOVE LOVE this one SO MUCH!!!

Makes me smile.
Fun with his dad.
I think they need a huge canvas of this one!
I laugh at Jaxon in this one because when he throws a fit he hides his face.
Cutest boy. Ever.
'Auntie, Can I go with you to Hawai'i?'
