Does life move too fast?

Do you ever wonder if life moves to fast? We just witnessed Zach's baptism... which I will post later about if I can get out of my lazy rut and post his pictures!

But... seriously... how is he 8? And Natalie is turning 16 in about 5 days? How does that happen? I have my baby in kindergarten and I just feel like that so much time in their childhoods has gone by.

I feel like there is still so much I want to do with them so much I need to teach them! I don't want to send them out into this crazy world until I have shared with them all that I can! But, the days go by so fast and we are busy with school... baseball... dance... YW's... scouts... ice skating... homework...eating and more eating where can I fit it in? Will my example be enough? Because I feel like that is all I have to give!!! And am I showing a good example? Sometimes I know I just plain am horrible at life. Like Natalie always says (jokingly) You suck at life! Sometimes I know I do! So... would my example be enough?

I love them all so much and I couldn't image my life any differently, but sometimes I wonder... when do we get to stop and smell the roses???

So true! Ugh, I get all sad and annoyed (annoyed because "I feel like I haven't done enough...") if I think about this too much!

No pressure being a mom huh?!? I feel your pain. But you are a fantastic example to your kids. You teach them so much. You can tell because look at them....all of them are amazing kids. Love you

You really are an amazing mom. I am very impressed at how well your kids were this weekend. I really enjoyed being with you. Thanks for letting me stay with you. I loved being there and had such a good time canning with you.
