Hold your babies they said..time flies they said...in a blink of an eye they said.

Hours turned into days that turned into weeks that turned into years and my oldest baby
walked out the door to take another college exam and I felt this proud sadness.
Why did he have to grow up so fast? How is he not at home all day with us anymore?

My second baby will be gone all week at a basketball tournament.
When did he become old enough to leave for a week without his mommy?

My third baby is in high school. How did that happen???

I spend most of my day with the girls and Frankie following me around.
The girls talk NON-stop.
I will not take this for granted...even though sometimes my ears hurt!
I will braid their hair whenever they ask.
I will paint their nails.
I will do yoga late in the evening with them even when I don't want to!

...as for Frankie...well, I KNOW how fast little guys leave the stage of being little.
I'm so very thankful to have another little one around the house...it's the best.
Soooo....all the kisses in the world everyday!
and he can jump into our bed in the middle of the night any old time he wants!

As "they" {and I now!} say.... The days are long, but the years are short.
Oh how short they are.

Enjoy them while you have them because they grow up way too fast.
