Photo Story Friday

PhotoStory Friday
Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

Well, here I am, one day late for PhotoStory Friday. My internet connection is to blame; it’s been on-again, off-again, and very slow during the rare times when it’s been on. However, I’m able to read my mail just now, so I’m going to attempt a blog post.

The following photo was taken only eleven years ago. These are the three youngest children in our family, posing with three of the puppies Lassie mothered in her young-doggie-hood days. You see the young man on the right? He is now approaching six feet tall, plays football, and enjoys composing love song lyrics. The two young ladies are now 16 and 15 years old, hard-working girls at home and at school.

Where did the time go?

That’s my story. Or advice. Enjoy your children now, because “now” is going to fly by so quickly, you’ll just wonder where the little people days went.

Here’s a photo taken this summer. Older sister Kayla is included in this picture as well.

I found a new group in which to include this post:

You’re Gonna Miss This Moment

    My oldest is 24 and my youngest is 5, I can really relate to what you’re saying. It goes way too fast. I treasure my days with my kids–it honestly seems like you just turn around and they’re grown.

    An advice every mom should take. I am guilty in many ways. I’ll enjoy my time with my daughter more.

    I know they grow fast …. It seems like I just turned around and now my oldest is 14! Yikes, thanks for the reminder.

    Oh, I needed this one right this minute. It’s 2:07 AM and I just got my youngest to go back to bed. I’m tired. But I know that someday I will look back on these days and miss them. Even if it is just a little bit.

    Your family is beautiful. Then and now.
