Second Grade

Sydney started the second grade yesterday. I can hardly believe it. How has time gone by so fast. When did I become old enough to have a 7 year old? It's like you blink and years just shoot by. I can remember so vividly this time last year and having a brand new baby at home and now she's 1 and starting to talk. It seems so slow going while you're in the throngs of it and then you look back and can't remember how you got where you are. I guess that's why they say childhood is fleeting.

I need to start taking deeper, slower breaths and take in every moment. So in a year I can look back and laugh and smile at the small wonders of my children. Everyday is so infinately special. A day I will never get back. A day I need to bask in at every moment and turn. Not just with my kids but with my wonderful husband. Take every chance to tell them all how much I love them.

Ok, Ok, I'm getting all sappy here. Enough of that here's some pics from yesterday. Sydney can't seem to keep her eyes open for any picture I take so oh well.

And the others are of Sophie enjoying her favorite food. WATERMELON!!!!! Love it. Love it. Love them.

I was trying to take another picture of her and she started throwing a giant fit and threw herself onto the table so I could snap this pic.
