Swoosh - Time Flies!

It's hard for me to believe that it's been 21 and 19 years since these two little blessings arrived in our lives.  It has been a whirlwind of activity every year since!  When I held them in my arms as newborns, I sat mesmerized by their precious little faces.  I would look at the clock and think, "Where has the day gone?"  As time marched forward, so did they - at record speed.

As I chased these toddlers around the yard, pretending to be some imaginary something, it took all my energy to keep track of them, and keep them safe from moving vehicles (ahhemmm both Sarah and Eric), corners of tables (Eric), curling irons (Sarah), etc.  Then in a blink of an eye they were riding their own bikes, reading their own books, even riding the bus to school!  Each day ended before everything that needed to be accomplished had been completed.






The next thing we knew, our weekends were filled with games and treats, lost water bottles, or missing team socks....all the while it seemed like time was barreling forward.  What we didn't realize is that right before our very eyes these precious bundles had transformed into wonderful unique individuals following the paths their hearts and minds presented.

So here we are, with a 19 and 21 year old in what seems like a few moments of time.  Unbelievable really.

The thought for the day is to make the most of each moment with your child, because their childhood is really a blip on your life's screen.  We love you both, Eric and Sarah!  Happy Birthdays!
