Too Fast for Mom

I'm so excited that spring is here. The grass is turning green, flowers are starting to come up out of the ground, trees are starting to have buds. It's as if all at once, God is having everything come back to life.

My kiddos and I went out to enjoy the beautiful weather tonight and as they rode their bikes I couldn't help but think how fast they have grown up.

I always said I have loved every stage with my son. He's getting so big now he really needs his training wheels off his bike. Just one more thing that he doesn't need help with.

Although he's gotten in trouble, he can operate the toaster and use his fork to "cut" his pancakes into pieces. Just one more thing that he doesn't need help with. (just supervision on the toaster part)

My daughter is old enough to get dressed, brush her teeth (with supervision) and put on her shoes (sometimes the wrong feet, but it's progress). She's talking clearer, using bigger words, even memorizing the books we read.

I'm so behind on my scrapbook for both my kids. I am trying to get my son's caught up, since he's the oldest. Looking through the photos I forget that he was ever little.

My daughter was so small when we brought her home from the hospital. I remember changing her diaper for the first time (at home) and once I picked her up, I almost shot her right out of my arms she was so small.

Where does the time go?

The Bible says our lives are but a vapor. Man, is that true or what? I feel like it was just yesterday that I was married, not over 10 years ago.

Oh, that I may treasure each moment. I know I mess things up, but that's why I'm a work in progress. God's work in progress. (Praise the Lord)
