A moment of sadness.....

I'm sitting here in our new apartment, Daddy back in WI and girls sleeping away in their rented beds wondering where and when did they become SO BIG...

I guess I've been so busy these last 2 years that I missed the transition from toddler hood to school-aged and it makes me really sad.

Scrolling back through my pathetic attempt to capture our life on blog has proven to me that in the not so distant past Tay was just a baby, complete with curly Q's and chubby cheeks, and Ana was a pre-schooler in the fullest sense of the word.   And as I scroll down memory lane I think about our day today- frustration on my end because I couldn't get all I needed to get done, frustration on the girls end because that toy was with sister #1 WAY TOO LONG, and exhaustion at bedtime.

But look at their innocent little cheeks, smiles and eyes.  How could I let myself miss this all???????

It's just another reminder that we are doing the right thing by moving home and getting the family some roots.  I'm SO SICK of transitions and I'm sure the girls are too.

Hug your kids tonight, and laugh just a little more, especially when they're frustrating.  It seems to me that those are the times they can be the cutest.... I know I will.

I honestly think it's not how much time you spend with your kids, but how you spend the time with them. I think almost everyone blinks and eye and is amazed by how fast the years have gone by. It's just a reminder to just enjoy them!
