pictures!

Today was my nephew's first birthday party. he's the cutest thing imaginable, and my sister made this music video with all of his pictures during the first year of life. it was particularly poignant, and if weren't for the adorable toddler crawling all over my lap and using my hair as reins, i may have cried.

it's amazing how quickly time flies. why, it seems like it was just the other day i was outside on the lawn barefoot looking for nightcrawlers, squealing as they tucked their bodies quickly back into the earth. oh wait. it was. okay, so perhaps everyone else is "growing up" and I'm merely aging....
