Growin' Babes

Blogging {and all things extracurricular} have been put even further on the back burner as of late. It's not because much of anything in our day-to-day has changed. It's' just that I've been trying to relish these last few days of my boys' being one. To truly soak in where they are at, their little quirks, what they smell like, the sound of their voices, the way their hands grab onto mine when they say, "Come, mama!", their littleness.
It's strange. I've had a year worth of one with them. So why is it that I feel like these last few days are what I need to cling to in order to remember it?! It's not like they will be any different once they turn two. But in a way, they will. Every day they are different. Bigger. Smarter. Quicker. Stronger. They are growing up so very, very fast.
And their little brother is right behind them.

Wow, Judah looks so different. I know what you mean my friend. Wish someone would tell us the secret on how to freeze time.

I'm right there with ya, lady. So many silly things to distract during the day and when we're sending these kids to college (or when they enter those darn teen years!) I will long for the days Mo wanted to sit on my lap and play with blocks! Let's soak 'em up!

You and Jeremy have done a wonderful job with your precious family. Keep doing what you are doing and relish and savor every single moment with these 3 little guys. I agree with Lorena ~~ Judah has changed so much.. Can't wait to see you in 3 more days. Be safe and praying for easy travelling. Love you Teresa

You don't have to let go of the "1". You can still be in it. Just need to ready yourself for the "2" and so on. You and Jer have built the exact memories of what it's all about to have children, a family, togetherness, and above all, TONS OF LOVE TO GIVE!!!!

Kudos and Kisses,

I am missing out on so much by not seeing you and your family. Thank you for the updates and keep them coming; they change my day!

Judah is getting SO big! I know how you feel about getting sentimental, this period goes by so so fast, it's good to take the time and just be in the moment with them. Sometimes I get annoyed when Xander just wants to lay on my lap and I have stuff to do, but then I remember "Cherish This!" and I give in every time. Glad to see you are enjoying every second of it!
