Sweet Sylvia

On a balmy evening in late May, I captured some pictures of my beautiful girl as she ran and rolled and frolicked in a grassy field.

I think this is my favorite picture of Sylv.  I love the level look she’s giving me!

Look at all that life and energy just oozing out of her:)  It seems to shine from the tips of her hair.

And then running.  Again and again…

Oh Sylv, I’m so glad to be your mama.  You do drive me to the brink of insanity from time to time, but it’s all in good fun, right?

You’re a little like this oak leaf…just unfolding, still soft and tender and green.  You’ve got a lot of growing to do, my girl.  But there isn’t much sweeter than a young life, alive with promise and brimming with vigor.  I can’t wait to watch you grow and to experiences so much more of life together.

  1. I love the idea for this triathlon. What a neat way to honor the memory of a baby who would have been a toddler, then a child. It’s interesting to see the different easy people cope with a loss and honor their babies. In a way I feel like it honors allan’s life as well. So glad you participated and that it was a good experience for Andrew!
