I just got back from about 36 hours of no kids. Yes that is right NO KIDS!!! Thanks to my wonderful mohter-in-law I got to go spend time scrapbooking with Amy. We do this twice a year and have so much fun laughing and talking that I look forward to it for months beforehand.
It is always fun to me to look back on what I have done and see how the kids have changed. I don't know about you, but I am a mom who has always said "I can't wait till the kids are bigger." Well now that they are getting bigger I can see why people told me to enjoy the time when they were little and needed me and wanted to be around me.
Why do we always wish for things to go faster than they are? When we were kids we always wanted time to go faster so it would be summer, winter or whatever we were looking forward to. Now that my kids go back to school in a week I can't believe summer is already done. Where did the time go? Here I had a whole summer where I wasn't working and yet I feel we didn't get anything done or that we didn't do any major vacations except for Pickeral Lake with the Feyen's.
Abby is now 10 and seems like she already doesn't need me as much as before. In a way that is good that she is independant, but also sad that she doesn't need my help as much. I still remember when she was born and how I couldn't put her down because she was my baby. How things change with a little time.
When Amy got home this week she said Joe no longer looks like a little baby or toddler he now looks like a little boy. When did my baby grow up? This is a stage I will never get to repeat since we are having no more children.
Well we are going to make some more memories this week as we spend our last week of summer vacation together. Pray for us as we begin the transition into school again.
