The Last Time

This was taken on one of our last days before Dave deployed to Iraq. He is the one holding the baby and this is how Dave remembers him.

I've tried to keep him updated with photos and video clips, but it's not the same as actually watching them grow and unfold before your eyes.

He made a statement the other day that pulled at my heart. "So, I've been looking at the photos and it's pretty obvious James is no longer an infant, but more like a toddler".

In two days, he'll get to see for himself and experience all of the laughter, snuggles, and smiles that I get from this wonderful little boy.

Not much longer!
