this girl is gone. i walked passed this framed portrait we have of her sitting in our home and it broke my heart...this girl is gone, and never to return.
she is four years old now and growing every day. it pains me to think how incredibly short life is, and how fast we see our children grow. it feels like we're losing them, i will never see that two year old again, only in pictures does she exist...it's a weird death almost...and yet it is such a blessing to acknowledge this growth and therefore give us the opportunity to value the times and moments we have NOW with them. cherish them, for they won't be the same tomorrow.
(now stop reading and go hug your kids!)

this is so TRUE!
I so hear you on this one. Meg is getting huge! And such a mover and shaker. I miss the baby she was. but look forward to the peson she will become. How's Kate?
I'm not sure why...but this made me cry.
oh my gosh you're tearing me up :( we have a two year old and i know what you're talking about... he's not a little baby anymore; he talks, he runs, he's just growing and growing... i'll never get that little one year old back... the bright side is the smiles and the awesome memories you have of that chubby little baby face :)
...ok, off to cry a little and hug my boy... :P
might i say, you guys and your touching comments are awesome!
big loves!!!
:-( Way too true. Just the last few weeks I have realized how big my kids have gotten (they are 3 and 1 1/2). They are growing up way too fast and it's crazy to look back at pictures and realize just how big they have gotten and just how much they truly have changed. I'm going to go give them a great big hug now. :-)
