So the big news on the Knight front...
We are moving...again. We close on our house here in MN June 30 and take off from there on our next adventure in Danville, KY. Crazy, right? More on that in another post. But because we are entering into our last month in the Frozen Tundra and I have been trying to eek out the energy to reflect on our time here, I thought it fitting to take on a 30 day photo click-a-day challenge for the month of June. And how fitting that the first day of the challenge, and therefore my intentional reflection, lands on the boy monkey's seventh birthday!
This kid has seen adventure with us. He is our more introverted monkey. On observing the steady rain outside upon waking this morning (he is also our early bird), he comments, "Mom, I think we are going to have to fix the gutters." Steady, practical, logical, detailed. I think we pretty much wear him out.
Change is not his favorite thing, and we have alot of that coming our way in the coming weeks. But he is strong. And loyal to a fault.
This year was his first year of full day school. And he rocked it. And lost a mouthful of teeth in the process. He loves baseball and soccer and his Daddy. I love how he loves his Daddy.
I'm not so sure they quite get it, but he is perhaps the best big brother (technically, he is younger than the eldest monkey, but he passed her by 1 inch this year so from here to forevermore he will be "big" brother) 2 gals could hope for. Most of the time.
I have been pondering this year the effect a son can have on a Momma. It is different this Mother/son dynamic. I feel more vulnerable to heartbreak with this boy. But also so very proud and loved when he throws those long, skinny, double-jointed arms around me impromptu.
This boy.
Has this Momma's heart.
So glad to have you by my side as we enter into our next big adventure.
