Yesterday I was also looking at some old photos of my kids and again, I had the strongest urge to just cry. Look at my little ones...
Ry is about three and a half -- Rach is about 14 months. It all goes by way too fast. (And do you like my living room decor -- boring white walls and more toys than furniture???)
Sometimes I feel like I've wasted a tremendous amount of time. The years are flying by and I often feel I have so many things I want to teach them -- so many things I want them to know -- so many things I wish I had done differently. You can't turn back time and when you're in the middle of the day-to-day chaos, it's hard to focus sometimes. (For me anyway.) I guess you just do your best and hope it will be enough.
There really is no point to my post today -- I'm just feeling weepy and sentimental.
Not much else to report. Hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July weekend -- do you have any big plans? We might try to catch a parade and then we are going to a get-together with some wonderful friends. It should be fun!
Enjoy your day -- chat with you soon!

I was just looking at photos of the kids from a few vacations back...you know, they just have to see scrapbooks from past trips to see how good a time they had at this vacation compared to the last.....crazy, I know.....but they have grow so much, just in the last few months even. Time goes fast, and I am fast approaching a driver inthe house....enjoy the little ones and cry if you want to, it can't hurt.....but neither can a margarita...:)
The fact - They grow up too darn fast, and that is the fact. sad one - just look at this way - it's part of the journey of life - one with many phrases we get to experience. There will be a lot of fun times ahead.
Hey aren't you suppose to be in happy mode right now? So I say, get out of the downy dump, right this minute, and party like a rock star. LOL Ok, go make yourself a "ritta" and sit back and enjoy it. Oh and run those kiddies around the yard a few laps, so they will be whipped out and want to go to bed early tonight, so you can enjoy some quiet "me" time.
I've been feeling wheepy and sentimental too...It's probably that summer is going by way too fast. One less summer to make memories. They do grow way too fast.
And, I cry at that movie every time too....How could anyone not?
Rita gotta break it out girl. I used to do that when Crystal was little. I'd lie awake in bed at night thinking how was I ever going to handle her dating, her going out and not knowing her every movement. My heart ached with the thought of her being grown and out on her own. Now she is and married to boot. She and her husband are planning a trip to Seattle the end of the month. Don't you think for one minute I'm not in my bed at night thinking are they going to be okay, please God keep my baby safe. It never ends you just can't let it rule you.
Love the picture of the kids! Sentimental is good sometimes - I think we need to go through the sentimental moments to realize how far we've actually come in our lives even as we see how much more there is to do. Hang in there, and hope you had a great 4th!
Stopped back to see if you had an update and see how your 4th was. Hope you had fun. About the pic from behind, I think they are so cool. Recently took one of Crystal & Kevin walking and holding hands, it is so sweet. Your layout inspires me to scrap it, with a romantic spin of course.
The end of that movie makes me cry every time, too! :0)
