We are heading out to my dads Saturday morning after soccer. The purpose of our trip is to go to a wedding on Sunday, but we will stay a few days to play with "Poppy". My sister is coming to the wedding as well, so i am really excited!
What i have realized most about this last few months is how fast they have passed by. I know the saying is "time flies when you are having fun" but it REALLY does. It really hit me during Kinder registration-you know how i felt about that! As i flipped through the events already planned for the summer, it seems we will be going almost non-stop. I am so excited to share these experiences with my kids but I feel like the time is slipping through my fingers! The thought of adventures next year-local of course- not including Lexi is crazy to me! I scroll through the last five years in my head and can't wrap my mind around all that we have squeezed in. This morning I snuck over and just held Logan a few minutes. I will never have a little baby again... and my "little baby" starts kindergarten in just 2 Months!
I commented to someone at M.O.P.S. tuesday that Logan doesn't get held a ton, well because he is #4. And i would like to correct that a little. I nurse him, so that is time with him i get consistantly, and when Joel comes home he dances around the kitchen, rocks, and whatever else with Logan in his arms. While we were on vacation it hit Joel HARD that Luke wakes up every morning and says "daddy, work?". He realized in a big way these moments happen so fast and then are gone.
Watching the kids speed around the perimiter of the house yesterday with the wind whipping their hair around put it into perfect perspecitve. These playful summer days with the 5 of us are soon going to be gone... gone with the wind...
these moments do fly by, but each stage is so fun
