It's been a while

It's been a while but I'm sure you understand why. We needed that "moment" of silence and reflection to really digest our new normal. It's not that we feel the loss any less but more that we can open the Blog to reflect without falling immediately to pieces when we see the former blog post. 

We figured today would be a good place to pick up as its Fathers Day and it seems only right to talk about how much the fathers in our lives mean to us and always will. 

A thought popped into my mind the other day and it's been swirling around in there ever since. Dads were small like us once upon a time! (Crazy, right?!) They had childhoods, they were teenagers (woah), young adults and only later in life did they become fathers and so on. This is really weird to think about! What were they like back in the day? I'm so curious what they thought were their biggest mistakes and how their hopes and dreams were born! We only come to know these people after a lot of life has been lived and are settled in their ways but they get to know us from the beginning! Lucky them!!!

Mom loves to look at photos like we do so there are a lot of captured moments that make us laugh or ask questions. I hope one day all the Instagram photos we take will be compiled for our families so they can have text with the photos as well. 

Cheers to the Dads, we couldn't exist without them and wouldn't want to either!
