Time Does Not Move So Slowly

Does anyone else see the future in this picture?


If no...do you not see 20 yrs or so down the road...a little girl in a white dress getting ready with the help of sisters?

No?

I guess I am the only one with that thought.

Life seems to move by way to fast.  Each day gets faster and faster.  I don't really like it.  Can I slow it down?  Freeze time right now, make my children stay little forever.

I try really hard to cherish every moment with them.  But that can be hard finding a balance between my responsibilities and playtime.  We need a clean house, clean clothes that are put away, etc.  But they also need us to get down a play with them.  To sit a read a book.  To laugh at a knock knock joke that makes no sense.  

I am working on it...finding that balance.

I also have to give myself some grace and let them play without me.  It is ok.  Because they will forever have each other.

I have always told them that friends will come and go, but your sisters are here forever.

On a not so serious note:  my mom told me that Sutton Grace wouldn't walk down the isle with a paci in her mouth....well...I am not so sure about that!


For now I will try to let go of the worry of time and just enjoy being in the moment...watching my little lady spin around in a pretty dress.
