Time

I can't believe it's March already! It seems like just last week I was writing February on our dry erase calendar. The amazement of how fast time is moving got me thinking about time in my life. It doesn't seem that long ago I just couldn't wait to meet our first little baby and now he's getting ready for kindergarten. I can remember the LONG days I spent at home with the boys. There were mornings where I thought I'd never make it to lunch time. Fast forward to present day and there doesn't seem to be enough time in the day. We make a to do list and I'm happy if I get half of it done. There was a time when if I had to stay home all day it was a nightmare and now for the most part I prefer to stay home. I remember Adam and I thinking 7 pm would never come quick enough to get the boys into bed and now we celebrate if we have everyone down by 8:30!

It's funny how each step in life brings new challenges and relieves other things. I'm so thankful for my kids and how there growing, but I'm trying to not get too caught up in all that needs done because before I know it they're not going to want Mommy's attention and a snuggle will be a thing of the past.

So I'm gonna try to find joy in the tears and the fights and the wrestling matches and the MESSES and try to dwell on the special little moments too!
like special hugs . . .
and all 3 kids playing happily together.

I'm with you! So many challenging times during these baby/toddler/preschool years, but despite it all the time seems to go by too fast! "The days seem long, but the years fly by."
