Where does the time go?!?!
It feels like yesterday that we brought our beautiful new son home. We waited for years for him, and now he was ours.

Soon he was rolling, then crawling, and walking. A few garbled words turned into sentences and songs. Although I admit I might be just a tad biased, his imagination and intellect is astounding. He is growing up before our eyes. I might not have noticed it so keenly if we hadn't had another baby. I am both overjoyed and melancholy about how much he is growing up. If only time could stand still a little longer each day so that we might be reminded to look a little harder, and enjoy the little blessings a bit more.
