Reflections

Well, this is the last day of 2nd grade for Caitlin. Although it is exciting to see her grow up, it's a bit sad at the same time. You know the saying about how children grow up way too fast and you need to cherish every moment with them? Well, that's becoming more and more true in my life.
There are times that I wish all 3 of my babies would stay--well--babies! :) Unfortunately, Caitlin will soon be interested in name brand clothes, makeup, BRAS, cars, and eventually boys.

Uggggg.

As nice as it is to have Christian pottytrained, it just means that he is growing up. In just 2 years, he too will be thrown into the whirlwind of school, and I don't know if I am really ready for that. I love being with him at home during the day, but I know he needs to be challenged, and the umbilical cord must eventually be cut. :)

Then there is Caroline. Now that she is crawling and exploring her little world, she is that much closer to talking and walking. Where does the time go? How is it that I can so clearly remember her birth as if it was yesterday?

I am so thankful every day for my children. I pray over their lives constantly, and I know our Father has a wonderful plan for each of their lives. I just hope I can enjoy each and every moment I have with them before time takes over. They are the most precious gifts I have ever received.

Blessings to Caitlin, Christian, and Caroline. Momma loves you more than you could ever imagine.

They grow up so fast don't they?

I remember going into my kids' bedrooms after they were asleep at night and looking at their little pudgy hands and thinking how fast these precious moments fly. It seems like yesterday, and they are 53, 46, and 38. Now that's how fast time flies. You are so right to treasure every moment and every phase of their lives.
