happy birthday cc!

It's no coincidence that my eldest boy's birthday falls on the first day of spring. It's perfect for him. Before he was born I had an orange tree that had never bloomed. I went to the hospital to have Connor and returned home with a lovely new baby boy and a tree in full bloom. To this day the smell of orange blossom makes my heart burst. love you cc!!! xoxo

  2. Beautiful photos... how old is Connor? My oldest son is 22 and he was born in the middle of a very hot Australian summer and I know what you mean .... every summer I remember the mad dash to the hospital in the middle of the night in the middle of a huge thunderstorm! Alexander came into the world with a bang and I always feel happy when we hear a crack of thunder and the heavens open! Beautiful post!
    Love your outfit too!

  8. He reminds me of a little older version of my son, Corbett ! Especially with the braces and long hair, so cute.
