"You're Gonna Miss This...Moment" Seeing is Believing

Time to join Pam and share the moments we're going to miss one day...because life is so short! Sometimes it's hard to find those moments among our busy schedules, but that's what I love about participating in this...it makes me stop and think about it and appreciate them so much more!

Alex and Emily got their school pictures back this week...and Alex has changed so much in one year! I know it's happening before my very own eyes, but to see last year's school picture and this year's side by side just proved it! His face has gone from a little round Charlie Brown face to a much thinner one with a longer jaw line! What happened? Emily has not changed as much...she is such a little petite thing, but I really miss her curls! I don't want to believe that they are growing up so fast...but seeing their pictures shows me that this must be true...{sigh} They are growing this very second, and I can't make it stop!

Alex and Emily made their Christmas lists this week, and although they circled everything in the toy catalog, Alex narrowed his list down to 13 and Emily cut out a few and glued them on her paper. One thing she would love to have is a new bunk bed from Pottery Barn Kids to put in our family room so she can have sleepovers! Well...at least they already know that Santa does not bring them everything on their list! I will miss the day when they stop believing in Santa and making their Christmas lists. I love what they come up with and feel their joy when they believe in Santa's sleigh visiting our house and surprising them with goodies! I hope that they will believe for a long, long time!


{I'll also miss when the Tooth Fairy stops visiting our house...just look at that smile!}

What will you miss? Don't forget to stop by Pam's and share your special moment with us...you may already be missing it this instant...it happens just that fast!
