Last night the fam and I watched home movies for the first time. For whatever reason we've just never done it. I have hours of taped memories collecting dust in a box and inspired by another lost tooth from Bo, we busted out the tapes. How can almost seven years fly by in the blink of an eye? Watching Bo laughing as an infant, learning to crawl, then walk is surreal;that same baby in the video is now my capable 1st grader. Watching Jake drool all over a bib in cinematic form is less shocking because he still calls me, "mama". I don't embarrass him yet, he still holds my hand in public and he still (barely) fits in my lap. It's passing us by, their childhoods and honestly it's caused me to tear up a few times today realizing that. Don't get me wrong, I am glad to be done with the middle of the night feedings, diapers, bottles and the rest of the baby paraphernalia, but there is something to be said for those sweet babies in these photos. *sigh*
H,
ReplyDeleteOne of the pictures we took this last vacation was of both kids climbing all over Ryder at an outdoor cafe. He looks so relaxed and the kids are so happy to be hanging on him. I love that picture because I really see it as a "Moment in Time" with the kids. Like you said, they take up so much of our thoughts, actions, dreams that we don't always have to time to notice how quickly they are growing. Time does fly... So happy you have a blog now!
