Stop the clock!

Ha! Ha! That title may be especially appropriate for today,

don’t you think?

I was rocking my baby this afternoon…….

& it suddenly hit me-they are all growing so fast!

(News flash-I know!)

It seems like just yesterday that they were this:

"Memory Lane"

(ugg...once again,

I have no idea what the music is or why it's there!)

And now they are this:

(HA! Wouldn't you know it-

we get all the kids smiling & looking at the camera-

& I have feet & paint pants in the picture!)

I get so caught up in the changing diapers, potty training

(yes, Ruth has said goodbye to diapers forever-yippeee!),

the spelling tests.

All these things are SUPER important-I know.

Along with making sure they eat healthy,

well-balanced meals

& take baths at least a few times a week. (wink!)

Teaching them manners & how to obey.
But, somewhere…..I am missing their growing up.

I know it goes fast,

but sometimes, I just want it to stand still.

Like I said, Ana’s time in this family has flown by!

I

WANT

TO

SLOW

THINGS

DOWN.


Can you guys give me some practical tips on how to take life more slowly
& enjoy these precious gifts?
