Changes

I was thinking about the past year and how things have changed. These pics were taken a year ago and it reminded me of how quickly time goes by. Our kids have grown, Jason and I have changed somewhat, and I can't believe it!! Before I know it our kids are going to all be grown and out of the house.


This time of year always has a big change for us. Because of where we live our lives are constantly being embraced by new people. I am sad to see all of the friends we have made move, but I am extremely excited for them too!! I can't wait until it is our turn to move on as well.
I keep telling myself it must not be time for us to move on, and we are needed here. I don't know why and I probably won't know until that time comes. So, I have to keep my head up and be grateful that I can look forward to watching my family change and grow. I love to be able to look back at years that have passed knowing that we made it to this point, and to remember the good times that we've had. Only to have continuous good times to look forward to.

Cute pictures!! You guys have such a darling family. I think it is so funny that we ran into you so often last month! And every time Claire had her princess dress on. Love it.

Time sure does fly by the older you get...really once you're out of high school. Crazy! I totally understand wanting to move on with your lives. We still have a little school left, but we're still so close to being done (the end of the year). Looking back it has actually flown by. But at the time it sure seemed like the end would never get here. I'm sure before you know it you guys will be moving on also. We'll miss seeing you guys in church. Have a great summer!

It all goes by SO fast. It is sad and exciting at the same time. I always wish my boys would just stay little and they never do :( I guess that is what makes life exciting. I'm anxious to move on as well. Sometimes its hard to have patience! Your family is SOOO cute.

I am just catching up on blogs from forever ago so sorry for the belated comment. I so understand how you feel I am ready for a move and a change but for some reason life is keeping us where we are. Hopefully we can look back on the time and smile. Your family is beautiful and you look gorgeous, haven't aged a bit!!!
