don't blink

I am freaking out you guys.

Want to know why?

Because I blinked.

And somehow this:

(June 2011)

(August 2011)



Became this:


(July 2012)



(August 2012)


How did this happen? And when?

Ana is (almost) a first grader! Katie is practically a toddler!

Time is going by way too fast. How can this be when the days seem so long? This winter I had a habit of telling Jack, "I want you to stay 3 forever." He responded by laughing and insisting he had to turn 4. He was right. I still wish that. I loved him at 3.

But I love him at 4 and Ana at 6 and Katie at 1.

As I was looking through old pictures today I thought to myself, "I wish I could go back 6 months and see them again." But then I realized that I would then have to re-live the last 6 months and I don't really want to do that. They have been hard on me emotionally. We are back to a happy place now.

I just need to stop blinking!

I hear ya. Especially having a baby around again, I can't believe how big Caleb and Lina are. Caleb is getting baptized in a month... A MONTH!! Yeah, I'm freaking out about that.

Glad you're in a happy place now. Miss you, friend! :)
