When did this happen???

Ok, it just hit me! I was shopping today for my little girl when I realized I have to start shopping in the "big girl" sizes. I guess 5T is considered older girl and so it is with sadness that I start to make my way over to "big girls" sizes while I wipes away my tears every step of the way. There has been alot of changes recentley and I'm not sure how I feel about them all. My middle boy got baptized last weekend and I can hardly believe it. My oldest boy will soon be passing the sacrament and close to being a TEENAGER. My little girl left nursery and went into sunbeams which left me with that crazy feeling of not having anymore babies in nursery. When did this all happen? Where was I? I swear I didn't see them grow up or I would have pressed the pause button. Slow down time. I realize the older I get the faster time flies and it scares me. For all those times I wanted the seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months to pass by, I take it back, I want those seconds, minutes, hours, days back. I want to press pause on my family and enjoy them more. I want more time to really watch them and enjoy them. I want time to slow down. So, I guess I can't slow down anything but myself. So, here's to a new year of hopefully not wishing one second away-enjoying the here and now and loving it, because I know it is all going way too fast!

Good post! I"m begining to look at child #1 and say- when did you get so big? I didn't play dollies with you enough and now you're outgrowing them! It is definitely a struggle for me to literally SLOW DOWN! I need to write "play with kids" on my things to do so it actually gets done!
by the way- I can't figure out why your blog doesn't update in my blog list... hmmmm
