The little things

My boys are getting older and it is bittersweet. I love the young men they are growing into but I do love my little boys. No one has used the shovels to dig holes at the beach this year; they no longer use the buckets or boats. They now bring books to read when they are not swimming or boogie boarding. They also prefer to sit in a chair or lay out on a blanket. So when I come across little lego ships like this parked somewhere in the house or on the porch it makes me smile. I do love being a mom to my boys.
