Goes by Fast....
Sunday we had breakfast together as a family. Nathan and I were doing the dishes afterwards while listening to conference. Big kids were coloring in the living room...cute little Rylie was hanging out in her high chair. She was just talking, playing, laughing and well...being cute! Nathan was talking to her....I stood there at the sink...looking at her...and couldn't believe how big she was. I stood there...still looking at her...and just started to cry. Nathan looked at me and said whats wrong??!!! All I could say was, she's getting so big!!! He put his arm around me and just held me for a minute.
Seriously, where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday that it was Walker sitting in that high chair...being all cute. It seems like just yesterday I was sitting in my bathtub, holding Rylie in my arms for the very first time. I look at her...and I look at the rest of my kids...and I am just amazed at where they are at. How they have changed, and continue to change each and every day.
I keep forgetting that rebekkah is even 9 years old! For some reason, I still think she is 8. What would I do without her? She really saves me from going crazy. She helps me so much. She holds Rylie...who is SO HEAVY now... Somehow she knows exactly what I need and when. I will be trying to make dinner, or do something and Rylie will be crying on the floor...or I'm trying to do something with her and she's crying in my arms. Rebekkah will come and ask...mom? You want me to hold her?
Abby turns 7 this month. SEVEN!!! Where did my chubby baby go?? She has really thinned out and gotten taller the last year or so. Almost taller then her sister! I can be gauranteed a laugh when this girl is around. She laughs at almost EVERYTHING! Sunday night we were all outside just enjoying the weather...looking at the beautiful moon...playing hangman with the sidewalk chalk. At one point, it was just me and Abby...she heard a noise and for some reason thought it was the funniest thing in the world. She started histarically laughing...and I in turn...laughed histarically right with her. We laughed and laughed about NOTHING for a good 1/2 an hour. Her smile is contagious...very, very contagious....
The things that matter most...are right here. And some days...I miss the point. Some days I let go right by me without even acknowledging the goodness. Without reveling in the blessings that are right before my eyes. Each one of these kids brings me joy beyond measure. And I wouldn't trade that for the world.
I love, love, love this time of year. The weather is changing. And I almost feel giddy inside. I love driving with the windows down and singing to the music. I love having the whole house open and feeling the breeze go through. I love sitting out front with my cute hubby and just watching the kids play and laugh. It's a fun time of year. One I look forward to with my whole heart.
