When Aidan was two, I took a picture of him strolling by himself along a path lined with trees just showing the first autumn colors. It is one of my most favorite pictures of Aidan, even though it only shows him from behind. But to see his confident stride on legs with melting baby chubb, surrounded by trees bursting with fall colors captures so much - a memory, a perfect day, and Aidan as he left babyhood fully behind as a full fledged toddler.

Today, I took a picture at the same park with both my boys. Aidan is now four and Brennan almost two. It was the same path, same season, almost two years to the day of the first picture. It reminded me that life truly does go so fast. They grow before your eyes and sometimes we forget to stop and just watch in awe. They held hands as they walked the park path - and soon, there will be a third set of hands for all of us to hold.
