Blessed

Today a friend posted on Facebook that she was not happy about doing laundry, and chores around the house, but that it did make her happy that her kiddos have a nice comfortable place to call home, and clothes to wear everyday. It stopped me dead in my tracks and made me think about how blessed we really are. With our girls, our marriage, our family, our friends, our jobs, the schools the girls are able to attend,  and just life in general.  This is a crazy time of year, and in all of the hustle and bustle of life,  I forget to realize our littles won't stay little for long. There won't always be lunches to make, homework to do, activities to run to, and forts built in our messy living room. Sometimes we just need to slow down! Especially when I look at this picture and think how is it possible that our first little duckling is really in 1st grade, and in school all day long...and that our little infant in the carrier, is really starting preschool (look for that post later)....this was September 2010.....When life gets crazy, busy, stressful.... take a huge deep breath and remember time really goes by quickly.... and we really need to just enjoy it.

Here are the girls having a neighborhood dance party on the driveway....yes Hulbert girls were in their nightgowns "Fee and Will won't care mom"
