Life's an Hourglass


We are so glad that we have some amazing pictures of our sweet little Grayson at 4 weeks old (he is 7 weeks now! Maybe that just sounds old to me, haha). Heidi at Monkeyface Photography did such a great job. She had SO much patience and spent the time needed for those perfect shots. And she didn't even mind that Grayson peed on a few blankets (guess that's what you get for having a naked baby!). I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! She even made this cute little video for us and I can't stop watching it. The lyrics are oh so true and it's my new favorite song at the moment.

Little boy, when you speak
I can't help but kiss your cheeks
I love the way you grab my hands
And tell me all about your plans

Rocket high, comets fly
You and I could hitch a ride
And fly away to Neverland
And give our best to Peter Pan

When you reach for the stars
Don't forget who you are
And please don't turn around and grow up way too fast
See the sand in my grasp
From the first to the last
Every grain becomes a memory of the past
Oh, life's an hourglass
Life's an hourglass

Story's read, prayer is said
Close your eyes sleepyhead
While angels linger in your dreams
And hold you in their feathered wings
Just like you, I was small
Not that long ago at all
I wish you all the happiness
That God gives freely if you ask

When you reach for the stars
Don't forget who you are
And please don't turn around and grow up way too fast
See the sand in my grasp
From the first to the last
Every grain becomes a memory of the past
Oh, life's an hourglass
