When Days Fly By...

Oh I love the summer...I cherish every moment. We do not talk about the summer coming to a close...I get tears in my eyes at the thought of heading back to school and leaving my baby girl. This summer has been by far, the best summer I have had in a very long time. I just cant get enough of my sweet baby girl. Every minute it seems like she is doing some thing new. It hurts my heart to think she will begin so many new things while I am not there. The past 2 weeks she has gone from army scooting to crawling, giving kisses, giggling and smiling at just about everything. She eats anything and everything I will give her and has now moved to most table foods. I did a closet cleansing this week and she has now moved into 6-9 month clothes. (this is HUGE, the first time her clothes match her age.)

If I could freeze time I would. I would capture every minute and record exactly what she is doing and when she does it. I pray these sweet memories I am building this summer will last me through the next year, at least until my next break:) I always say if I have to work, teaching is the job to have...breaks and summers to build memories together...I'll take it.


TO all my stay at home mom friends, cherish every minute, as long as your hours/days may feel. You have what so many of us mommies wish we had. Build a network of like minded mommies around you. Make your time count...make the 9 or 10 hours you have with them worth it!
TO all my working mom friends, I get it!! Getting up, getting you and them ready, getting them packed for the next day, they're screaming (or poopie, or both) when you drop them off...it all goes on and on. Life can seem to slip by us...we get into the habit of our schedule and we miss out on the little blessing and events. Stop, and take a breather and just enjoy your little family. Time will be gone, make the hours you have with them count. I promise that what you do is not worth more than who you love.


It is so hard to believe my sweet Brylee Jayne will be 8 months on Sunday. Where has my last 8  months gone? My greatest fear is that I will wake up what seems like tomorrow and she will be 10 years old. Lord Please help me to cherish every minute I can with her.
