It's not the sadness you would think. It's more of the kind of sadness that sinks way deep down into the depths of your heart in as this is MY reality of this being my last Saturday to have a 4th grader, a 1st grader, and a 1st time Mother's Day out 3 year old. Why is this soooo darn stinkin sad? Because that's one year closer to MY offspring being too big to NEED me to hold them, help them find their forever missing socks, fix their lunches, ask them to pick up after themselves for the 100th time, kiss their boo-boos or never being able to answer their long exhausting list of questions. I know...I should be a hoopin' and a hollering and jumping for joy and B-E-L-I-E-V-E me there are days...However, today is NOT one of them! So...excuse me in advance if you happen to see me this week and I look like a big FAT cry baby, or if I start tearing up in the middle of a conversation with you...it's just that time of year that comes every year where I have to let go of a little bit more of a piece of my heart and oh how sweet it is that God gave me these hearts to give back to Him for ...There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven. I know that everything that God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him. Ecclesiastes 3:1,14...

I don't know Betty, just look at Nico's sweet little face. And just think...they will always need us when when they get hurt physically or emotionally and...when they want something. I hate it too, I was just thinking today how sweet my boys really are, they grow so fast. I am there with you girl.
I too cant believe that Connor is almost 3, and you have had him since 8 weeks! It is insane that he will be going to school in 2 years...that will just fly by! I can only imagine how sad I will be after having all of my children. I dont want them to grow up, just grow out of the tantrums! LOL
