I wish everything would just slow down, so that I can literally breathe in these moments of being a mother of this 1 year old, and all the other ones that love on her each day.
I love recording our life, but I get too caught up making sure the pictures are loaded, edited, and all-inclusive.
I am missing it.
The opportunity to record our life each day.
So, here is to capturing our life. Raw. Unedited. And maybe sometimes without the perfect pic.
I have a dear friend moving away today, so I want to send her off with memories of her life here, but today I'm sharing Tymber's latest obsession of wearing Annie and Ellie's panties to be a "Big Girl."
She is a big girl. Too big. She knows too much, and not quite enough to know to watch out for nails on the ground (yesterday's adventure).
I love the layers. Each one showing how she methodically pulls them up and over her diaper. Each layer proving to me that the time is short with these little ones.
Soon there will be Thursday night study sessions, early morning omelets before seminary, and late nights waiting to here all the details of our oldest headed to his first Prom.
I love being a mother.
I do.
I know I'm not great at it, but I am pretty good, and hopefully my children will make up the difference by who they are and who they will become.
Here is to life, and the chance to love...
And a little bye-bye picture to the bottle!
