Cliche, But OH, How Time Flies!

Is this really the same kid?

It has only been one year and he really has changed so much. I knew he would, but here I am, still shocked.

I cannot even begin to fathom how much more he’s going to change over the next year. That, or how one day, 17 or so years from now, I’m going to wake up and he’s not going to be asleep in his room anymore and I’m going to wonder where the time went.

Little Man has been a handful the past couple of days (testing boundaries like crazy), but I need to remind myself of how I am feeling right now. I really want to try harder, every day, to consciously enjoy this and every stage, frustrations and all.

    Those photos are adorable. And cliche or no, it’s true.

    So cute! The other day I was looking at photos of Jonas from a few months old. I couldn’t believe the changes. It made me a little teary.

      I know! It’s emotional, isn’t it?! Then again, everything makes me cry lately!

        I was watching Monsters Inc this morning and was all tears when the Monster says goodbye to Boo.

        So, I know how that goes. 🙂

        That was “I know” in reference to the teary comment… Not “duh, I know my son is adorable”. I mean, *obviously*, I do think my own son is cute, I just don’t think he’s the cutest child on the planet. Jonas might be though!

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
