I remembered thinking that perhaps life would slow down since I was blessed to be a stay-at-home mom now. HELLO, what was I thinking? I like my kind of busy now though. It's tough no doubt, but the rewards are so worth it. Feburary 2008
Today I was running some errands and Maddie was in the back seat with her sunglasses on. The girl loves to wear sunglasses. I said to her, "YOU are my ADORABLE Maddie!" and in return she said to me, "YOU are MY ADORABLE MOMMY!" If my heart did not melt in that moment. It's those moments that you gotta cling to when life gets tough and busy and the patience is wearing thin. I do not ever feel adorable, and certainly not lately. But in the eyes of my innocent perfect three year old, maybe I am even for just a minute. December 2007
I had to write about this, because when she is 15 or 16 she will think I am the most unadorable person she has ever met. She will never believe that she once thought that way. Who knows what the future will hold, but knowing the kind of teenager I was to my mother...I got one word for ya, KARMA. I cherish these moments, for one day the taint of teenage-hood won't be so heart melting. Dylan is the king of unexpected kisses and I love you's. When he is in that sweet mood, there is not an angel in heaven or on earth that shines like that kid. I am thankful for these little blessings and the trials they sometimes bring, but the JOY of it far out weighs it all.

Well said Carrie! Good reminders.
They grow up so fast . . . keep cherishing those busy, hectic, and even frustrating moments. They define your future memories. :o) Love to you all!!
Loved it!! Thanks for reminding me. In my kitchen I have a magnetic board that I purposely put pics of the kiddos when they were in those sweet innocent phases, so that when they're not being so sweet I can look at them & they will help me calm down & remember not so long ago they were my little angels. I can't even imagine, nor do I want to know what karma is coming my way. May heaven help me........
Those are some cute pictures. I think its so easy to forget how they looked and acted when are little and time does go by so fast.
