Day one!

Well we made it through the night and surprisingly without any real fuss from little one. We ate at midnight and then we were still asleep when I woke baby up at 5:30am. So not quite as bad as I anticipated (at least not yet) :) At first I thought "Oh I hope we made it through the night" I wanted to get up before the kids because I didn't want them to find out when I did if the baby didn't make it. However when I reached my hand in sure enough it squealed at me. :)We are also A LOT happier today.

Today is Alex's Easter Party at school. I need to go get some pre-filled eggs as I have eggs but no candy to put in them, so pre-filled eggs here we come. We are also heading into town this afternoon to spend time with my parents. They are redoing many rooms in their house and I am excited to see how the bathroom looks today (first room done). They start on the Family Room tonight.

I can't believe tomorrow is April 1st. I feel that every years goes faster and faster. I remember just 10 years ago how time felt like it took forever and I couldn't grow up fast enough. Well now I feel like time is flying by and I can't keep up. I feel my babies slipping away into adolescence and it makes me a little sad. I feel like it was just yesterday that Jack was born and he will be 6 this May.


It is hard to think that in just six years my little boy went from a little 8 lb Peanut to a blooming 6 year old. Time goes to fast.
























Now with that said what I find even harder than watching my first born grow up (which is both hard and fun all at the same time) is seeing my "baby" growing up and knowing that in Dec he will be 5 (AH) He went from my little snuggler to my big snuggler (but at least he is still a snuggler).




















It is hard to think that something so small, will grow into man someday. At least for now I still get to have my little snuggler.



Well at least for now, I can look back and realize how fast time really does go by and be grateful that I realize it and can remind myself to enjoy each and everyday with my children.

Well that is all for now, see you soon.

  1. We've turned into our parents saying things like " I just don't want my babies to grow up!"

    Precious years ahead too!

    Hey, I put pennies in the eggs for school- inspired by Cara!

  2. That's great, I SO wish I would have been creative but I am just happy I remembered the eggs. :)
