WARNING!! I wrote this late at night when I was feeling pretty sentimental. Read at your own risk of becoming all gushy!
After dropping off my parents at the airport this past week, my husband said, "It never seems like we have enough time together..." He is so right!
I am having a hard time with....time...the passage of time that is. It seems to have taken off at break-neck speed and no matter what I do, no matter how much I protest, no matter how much I stomp my feet and demand it to slow down, it just doesn't. In fact, it seems to get joy out of going that much faster. Maybe this is all due to the fact that I just turned 40 or that I just potty trained my baby or that my father-in-law is in the hospital or that Carter just turned 8. Whatever the reason, it is really ticking me off (no pun intended)! What bugs me the most is that it seems the more I focus on time the more time I seem to waste! The more I try to soak it all in, the more I seem to miss! Tonight, I just sat in Carter's room and then Cooper's room and just watched them sleep. I remembered those times when they would wake me up in the middle of the night because they couldn't sleep and I remember being less than happy. I now wish that I could go back and soak it all in and appreciate that quiet time together. I actually tried to wake them up tonight, but neither one would oblige! They were completely out! I guess that is a good thing. They must feel safe and happy and comfortable...they were definitely not sitting up worrying about the passage of time!

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that Id like to do
Is to save every day
Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
Id save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
Ive looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with
Now that reminds me of being really little!
Here are some pictures of time passing...
Cooper then...
Cooper now!
Carter then...
Carter now!

Awww...what sweet pictures of your boys Angie!
I totally agree with you about time going by way too quickly. I'm always walking around thinking to myself, "Where is the dang pause button on life?" If there was one, I'd certainly have pushed it!
We watched old home movies over the 4th of July weekend. I thought I'd never stop crying!
Hugs to you!
Amy
Darling pictures Angie!!
I am right there with you in agreement that time just slips away. My baby is going to be 7 in a few weeks!!! EEK!!!
