Where does the time go?

My little baby girl is walking!!! The proof is right there in the video. She's been taking two steps here, three steps there, but now she's actually standing up by herself and just walking! It's so fun to see, but at the same time it makes me realize that she's really growing up, FAST!!! Her first year has absolutely flown by, I feel like it's a dream. I know that everybody always tells you your kids are going to be all grown up before you know it, but wow, I think I have finally realized the truth to that statement! It makes me want to slow down a little and just soak up every minute I can while they are all still young. Sometimes I get so caught up in the "instant, I want it now" attitude of life that I project it onto my children and then I miss out on all those precious moments of their lives. My best friend has a blog too, and she recently wrote about "time" and how she is going to enjoy the "time" she has to spend with her family. Well, me too! I'm going to slow down and just spend "time" with my family and enjoy the "time" that Hailey started walking, and the "time" that Jackson loves to read to me and the "time" that Ryan loves to play make believe. What a great "time" in my life it is right now!!!

Thanks Kerry for this link! It is so fun to have a way to stay up-to-date on family happenings, see how kids are growing, etc. I am going to post a link to this at my website too, so you might get some of my friends looking, or other family members.

The kids are SO huge already. I can't believe it. I understand what you mean when you talk about time flying by...

Love, "Cousin" Tiffany

I CAN'T BELIVE SHE'S WALKING!! Well, it was bound to happen. We just saw you guys a month ago and Hailey has grown up so much in 4 weeks. WOW! When we see you next month she'll be running. She's so cute. We just love your kids and you. Thanks for sharing the video of her walking. I love how determined she is to get across the room.

Hi Kelsey's friend! Thanks for stopping by my blog today. What a sweet little family you have. I can tell you are enjoying every minute with them. It goes so fast - my youngest of 4 is graduating this month. Everyone says it goes fast - but you just don't understand how fast until it's you!
Blessings on you!
