When Chuck and I got married, I bought these picture frames to start putting the kids school pictures in and one for the pics that I had the photog take of just the three of them during our engagement session-it was just the three of them for so long, that I thought we needed a special picture for just that.
Anyways, the last couple of years has been SUCH A WEIRD FEELING as I put their new school pictures in and re-hang the frames on the wall. I guess we all can relate. Kids just grow up SO fast...
This year, 7th grade, struck me as the year Mason stopped looking like a little boy...
and more of a MAN.
TOO. WEIRD.
Notice Maddi only has TWO more empty squares???
One for her Junior year, and the big one for her Senior year.
Gulp.
I think the thing that makes it weirdest, is that THIS is how little the kids were when we started dating...
-Me and Mason-
-Me and Mason-
-and a badly scanned picture of all 4 of us from the early years-
And when it seems like all that was just yesterday, NOW they look like this...
Time flies.
Goodness, time flies.
It's something someone's been trying to teach me lately...
Live for what you have NOW, Misty. Be present in the NOW.
It'll be gone before you know it.

ok, teared up! It does go too fast and our parents always said that and we never believed them. Trying sooo hard to just slow down and be thankful myself.
