Looking back...

Last week I thought of making this video and posting it on the first day of school. Of course I had no idea how to do it, but today I learned : )

I had been going through old pictures of the kids and kinda remembering them at younger ages, I think all moms do this once in a while it helps to get us ready for what we have to do next. You look back on the pictures and think ok I thought I would never sleep again there, but I did. I thought we would never get through the terrible twos, but we did. I didn't think he would ever learn to ride that bike on his own, but he did.

I want my kids to grow up, I want them to be independent and know who they are, and I want them to have a strong relationship with God. Its just sad sometimes when you know that your not gonna be there to protect them like you would like to be, and you hope that you have taught them enough with God's guidance to make the right decisions. Like when it comes to the bully on the play ground, or the boy teasing you on the bus, and so on.

However, you also know that your gonna miss these days you are living right now, your gonna want them coming running up to you with a big hug,your gonna want them soo excited about school, and your gonna want the days back when you didn't embarrass them so much lol.

As everyone will tell you enjoy these times they go by so fast, and ya know what believe them, take that to heart, and make as many memories as you can. It changes when they get in school of course not as much when they are older, but still somewhat. It's nice to have pictures to look back on and smile...
