Growing Faster Everyday

May 28, 2016 By Erika Zane

28 May

It seems the kids are growing faster than I can keep up.

In the last few months Wyatt turned 4, which we celebrated over Easter weekend with family back east:

Naomi met her GG and Great Aunt and Uncle for the first time:

She started really walking when we got back from that trip right around the 17 month mark and she had two awesome cheerleaders:

We celebrated 18 months with her in our lives:

The boys finished up Preschool and Kindergarten!  I can’t believe they’ll be in Pre-K and 1st grade next year!

I love how both of their shirts are so nice and freshly pressed on the first day and a mess on the last day.  That pretty much sums it up.  We were so ready for a break.

Also, in case you didn’t notice and thought I just don’t buy D clothes that fit, that’s the same shirt on his first and last day.  I wanted the comparison.  I love how he was practically swimming in it on the first day (that picture doesn’t do the bagginess of the shirt justice, but you’ll have to take my word for it) and it really doesn’t fit anymore on last day.  I may have been in denial that day, but he had his batman shirt on underneath and wore that most of the day.

I’ve decided they have to stop getting bigger now.  That’s enough growing for one year!

I think that about catches us up.  I’d love to start writing more, but we all know I say that and then I don’t, so we’ll just leave it there.  If we’re lucky I’ll post some of our summer adventures, and make a plan for posting some photography tutorials so I can learn more and help others while I’m at it.

I do know if I don’t follow through, it’s OK because one of these days, my kids won’t be so small.  I’m pretty confident I’ll never regret accomplishing less, while I spend these years soaking in all the adventures and exploration as they learn more and more about this crazy, beautiful world.

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.
