Not small for long





Every once in a while I look at my kids and I can't believe how big they have gotten. I then have flash backs of the delivery room and the first time I held them in my arms. I remember wondering what they would look like in a few years and what their personality would be like. I had one of those moments today with my kids. Hannah was talking at the dinner table and it hit me "she has grown up on us!!!" It was just 5 short years ago that we brought her home in her little car seat all bundled up in her snowsuit. We drove 5 miles an hour b/c we had new and precious cargo on board. Hudson was talking to us today and said "I actually want the blue cup" I thought to myself "He just said Actually!!" My baby boy is talking, walking, running, potty trained, and growing up on me!!! I picked them both up and looked into their eyes and thought to myself "I am going to treasure this moment because one day I will look at them and they will be grown up and I will think back to this moment and wish I could scoop them up and "snuggle" them as we call it". Boy do I love these kids!!!
