Time Goes Too Fast Tuesday

Time does indeed go too fast. And here are a few pictures to prove it...

Easter 2011

My Rhett and my Flynn...

Back when my littles all wore matching jammies... : )

and when a little one year old could check out her own Easter basket...

and new sippy cups were all the rage.

Happy Easter!

Time Goes Too Fast Tuesday

Not now, Mom...I'm really concentrating on stacking these cups...

What's that? You need a picture for the blog you are going to start in a couple years?

Well, ok then...How's this?

 Thanks, Flynn! : )

St. Patrick's Day 2010...just four short years ago...

when we had a brand new little leprechaun in our family!

My Daddy and his girls...Easter 1972

I'll let you guess which one is me. : )

Time Goes Too Fast Tuesday

Rewind four years ago to a cold January day...the day we celebrated the gift of our Baby Flynn at her Baptism. I loved that day...I always loved Baptism Day for so many reasons. I loved thanking God for the gift He blessed us with. I loved the feeling of completeness the day brought. First there was the pregnancy...then the birth...the bringing baby home...and finally, the Baptism. I always felt as if that was the end of one period and the beginning of the next...the start of our lives as a new family.

I remember this day so very well. I remember most being alone in my room with Flynn after all the festivities ended, removing the beautiful Baptism dress that all of my daughters wore and thanking God yet again as the scent of chrism oil surrounded her. And if I try really hard...I can still smell it.

The beautiful cake for our girl.

So serious my baby was...

She was wearing a sweater made by my great grandmother. My mother put new white ribbon in just for Flynn. : )

Thank you God, again, for the gift of our Flynn Grace. : )

Time Goes Too Fast Tuesday

Just a quick look back at Christmas four short years ago...when we were celebrating the birth of Baby Jesus with our own new baby in the house...

Christmas Eve with my littles...

and Christmas Day...my sweet hubby and me with the best Christmas gift ever...our new baby Flynn. : )

( And yes...because I love you all so much...I didn't think twice about posting a picture of me in my jammies without a bit of make-up on.)

Here's hoping the next four years don't pass as quickly as these ones!

Time Goes Too Fast Tuesday

This is my Peyton. She was but seventeen months old, and I was soooo very sick during my pregnancy with little Rhett. My younger sister Angel, who inherited all the crafty genes in my family, made these cute sweatshirts for the girls that Halloween. We added a kitty cat headband and I drew some whiskers with my eyeliner pencil, and had the cutest Halloween cats ever. Still one of my favorite pics of my Peyton. : )

Slow down time...pleeease. : )

Time Goes Too Fast Tuesday

Just my feeble attempt at recapturing precious moments in time...even if just for a moment...

Pumpkin Patch 2003

Wait...this was 10 YEARS AGO?!?!

But seriously...this is one of my faves. It is framed and on my dresser. Two of my bestest things...my kids and fall...together. The only thing missing is my sweet baby Flynn...who was still waiting to join us! : )

Time Goes Too Fast Tuesday

Awhile ago the kids and I were going through some old pictures on the computer. We came across some from our beach trip a few summers ago, and I thought about how very quickly time passes. Without these visual reminders, I sometimes forget days gone by and special moments forever frozen in time.

I thought I would post a few every now and again...as they were taken years before this little old blog was born. So I apologize for the trip down memory lane...I just need to recapture these precious memories as time carries them further and further away. : )
