Someone freeze time... please!

As you've seen in my previous posts... it's been "birthday season" at our house. (we are behind on birthday pictures this year. Hopefully we'll get those taken next month) They are all a year older... and it's been making Mommy a little sad! I feel like my babies are slipping through my fingers...

Now she's 11

Now she's 8

Now she's 5

Now he's 2

"I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be."

"A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for."

"Parents have the glorious opportunity of being the most powerful influence, above and beyond any other, on the new lives that bless their homes."
~ L. Tom Perry

"Your children will become what you are; so be what you want them to be." ~ David Bly

It does go by so fast I agree, I too can feel them slipping away and I don't like it. Fun to see their baby pictures, they were all so cute.

I can't believe my oldest just turned 12, almost a teenager! I feel so old. How come Belinda doesn't look any older? I look like I'm catching up to her. I've known her for 18 years!
