Last night I had nice conversation with my best girlfriend about motherhood. She is the new mommy of a gorgeous baby boy. We were lamenting how quickly it all goes by, how our hearts sometimes ache for the quickly slipping days to halt their dizzying progress.
Something about turning four has made my firstborn into a little man. I look at this picture, and I want to engrave it upon my memory. He spends so much of his day in constant motion. He is always running, jumping, learning, exploring, singing, questioning, and growing. I want to be able to see him in this quiet moment forever.

I love this pic of my nephew….He looks like he is so concentrating on the river….We are lucky to have him in our lives…his cousins always asks about him..And I know what you mean..I want to keep my 2 little forever…It all passes by too fast………….
Aww…thanks for your sweet message. It’s been so nice to experience mommyhood right along side you!
soak it in. my 4 year old just became a 5 year old and started kindergarten. no more baby. it has really sunk in recently during visits with friends who have slightly younger kids. the friends had expectations of my daughter, not fully realizing…5 isn’t all grown up yet, either.

I enjoyed reading your blog today. I love how you make every little thing seem so wonderful! Talk to you soon!
I’m so glad that you stopped by. This is fun.
Erica, this is so nice. I wish that I could write like you do. I’m to old to learn now. I would love to read more of your writing.
Thanks! You’re not too old. You’re a spring chicken!
