Time check

So as i'm playing outside with my children, looking around at each of them doing there own thing. I begin to wonder, where did the time go? Savanah is almost 8, when did this happen? She has just mastered riding her bike with no training wheels. As I see her determination to get it and to do it well, she doesn't give up and no matter how many times she tries, she gets right back up and does it again. It makes me proud to instill that "never give up"attitude within her.

Arora is now 6, she's gotten so tall. She's playing teeball in the yard with her friends, sharing and taking turns. Encouraging the other children and praising them when they get a good hit. And again i'm reminded that I instilled this trait into her, this kindness and sharing of others.

Drake is almost 3, this one has snuck on me the most. It's seems like just yesterday I was bringing him home from the hospital and we were moving into a new home. Just yesterday i was chasing him around the house as he was learning to walk, ever so wobbly. How is he almost 3 already. As i sit here and watch him dig in the dirt with his tractor and shovel, I am reminded how much time goes by so quickly. He's grown so much in the past years, he's grown into an adorable little man. My independant wee man, trying to do everything on his own. It's hard to just sit back and realize my baby isn't a baby anymore :( He is such a spirited little boy with a huge vocabulary.

Seeing the kids getting older and watching them as they grow and develope into these amazing young people, I am still in awe at the miracles I have created.
