To everything turn, turn, turn
Do you ever have one of those moments where you really have to think if something really happened- was that really my life? my kid? I stumbled across this picture today of Mckinley on her first birthday and did just that. We had come home to Utah to celebrate with family. I remember bits and pieces of that day, that trip, but the problem is at this moment, today, Mckinley was never this small. It feels like she has always been a vivacious three year old and we have always lived in Utah. Pieces of my past are starting to seem like they never happened- those six years in Arizona, life before kids, life before two kids, college. Maybe it is because I am knocking on 30's door but I am feeling like I want time to stop right where it is. Kingston is at the best age (really, babies start being fun @ 5 months), Mc is so excited for Christmas and Santa and I guess (seriously, getting teary eyed) I know someday I am going to look back and wonder, as Mark and I sit in our empty house with our kids gone and living their own lives...was that really my life?

Yes it really happened...I remember that day! But I do know what you mean. When I was a kid I was excited to be an adult so I would remember everything...too bad that didn't pan out! I wish I could remember every detail of my kids' lives because it's so fun as it's happening and I don't want to lose that! Enjoy those kiddos! I'm glad Mckinley is excited for Santa and Christmas...I think Christmas as a mom is even more fun than it was as a kid!
I remember the days of Yesteryear all to well; living it up with the Williamson's in CA and AZ. But so true, it all came and went really fast. Luckily, we still have two of our very best friends as proof that those old days existed:)
I remember those kinds of moments too! Love you! xoxo
I remember that party well. Sabrina peed her pants on your parents' playground! Some things you don't ever forget! But yes, time certainly does fly and you quickly forget what life was like before.
