People say it all the time. They tell you that time flies by with your little one and to cherish every moment. I listen and I believe but it still never ceases to amaze me just HOW fast the time does go! When I was little time seemed to almost stand still. Christmas and birthdays couldn't get here fast enough, and the school year seemed to never end. It really does seem like that was so long ago yet it also seems like yesterday. I remember so much about my childhood and it is all good and wonderful and I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you Mama and Daddy!
Anyway, now that I have my own little angel and watch her grow each and every day, I try so hard to remember that she won't always be this little and to spend time with her, take pictures and videos, spend time with family and friends and to make it the best for her. I only want the best for her...as all us parents do :)
That being said, the holidays are here again! Halloween has come and gone, Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and Christmas is upon us!!!! I LOVE it people! Do you hear me???? L.O.V.E. IT! Yeah, we are in a hustle and bustle, more and more $$$$ is going out, but come on, you know you love it too! Family time, friends and parties, dressing up little babes. It's great! And nothing is better than laying on the couch at Mama's after a big meal and watching the latest children's film release while we all lay around and talk and the kids play. I just love it! And not to mention the way the house feels when all the lighting is from twinkling lights upon trees and garland. Ahhhhh...are you there? Good :)
So, while it may make me a little sad that the time flies, I have this to look back on...

Sister is obsessed with chap stick for those of you who don't already know. But would you just look at the girl that baby has become. sigh...
Happy times are here! Anytime I get down about how fast it goes or look back at her baby pictures I remember what a parent at my previous job told me. She said that it is a good thing if we get to watch our babies grow. It means we are raising them the best we know how and they are healthy and growing the way they should. We should be thankful. And that is just what I am this Thanksgiving. THANKFUL. For my girl and her health and all her little ways, my husband, my family and friends, and for a loving and grace giving God to whom I owe it all.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all! Gobble gobble till ya wobble!!!!
