“Be present in all things and thankful for all things.”

Her sweet eight year old ways ...
... don't grow up too fast baby girl.
Oh, but they do! I am now watching my grandchildren grow up too fast! How did my daughters get into their 30's and my first grandchildren get to be 10??!! Your daughter is a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteWe really do 'blink' and they're all grown up! Thanks so much for visiting AnnMarie, enjoy your grandchildren! And yes, I agree with you that my daughter is a sweetie! :)
DeleteHow beautiful! Kids do grow up too fast, I was just telling my husband how I miss them when they were babies ( Our girls are 3 and 5). But I told myself, I will be present now..because these days..someday will be gooood and sweet memories.Thank you for sharing over at #Bloggerspotlight linky party, hope to see you again! Pinned!
ReplyDeleteYes we really do need to try and take in the 'here and now' as much as possible. I hope you build up many sweet memories with your children. Thanks for the visit and the pin Cristina, have a great week!
DeleteI have stayed home with my children and yes, this is so true and my heart misses it so much!! I have photos of the last time the two oldest boys played in the garden dirt with their Tonka trucks and I would give anything to go back to that day for an hour. Thank you for joining Home Sweet Home!
ReplyDeleteI hear what you're saying. I see photos of my young children when even younger and it just reminds me so much to take in the moments.

I've reconciled myself to stop blinking Sandi! I just don't want their innocence to vanish! I'm so glad you enjoyed the post.
