While I was looking through some of my old stuff, I came across a scrapbook album. I couldn't help but look through it! A trip down memory lane can bring some happy tears for sure. I can't believe how fast the kids have grown. I saw pictures of Dawson's chubby chubby cheeks that I wanted to kiss. Saw pictures of my Abby and a letter I wrote to her after spending a day with her one on one. And saw pictures of my baby Sophie who was soooo cute and kissable. I wrote some of my heart on these layouts and it made me miss that time. I am so happy with the stages they're at now and I'm totally enjoying it but it also made me miss them being so little. It makes you realize how fast this goes by and how I need to be savoring every.single.minute. of it!
It also made me realize how I want to record our lives. I miss blogging and scrapbooking and just telling our story. I think I am going to try again. Time is so short but I want to do it for my kids.
Last week I took all three kids with me to Costco since they were out of school. Abby and Sophie picked out Christmas dresses and we got a winter coat for Abby. I told them we could walk down the toy aisles and they could see if anything was on their wish list for Christmas. As we rounded the second aisle there was a crash in front of us and a bunch of light saber's fell to the ground. It was a child who did it and then ran off. Without even hesitating, Abby took off and started picking them up. I was so proud of her. Abby is a giver for sure. She loves helping people, doing things for others and just being a blessing! I can imagine her being a teacher or nurse or something like that. She is also so good with her sister. They have their moments of course but for the most part she is so sweet to Soph. She takes care of her and is her protector. I really hope it stays that way. Having a sister is such a great gift!
