In the blink of an eye

Once upon a time, all I wanted was to be a mom and it seemed to take me so long to get there. Now as the kids' birthdays approach I think how fast the first 6 years of motherhood have flown by. I am trying my best not to get sad about how grown up the kids are getting and focus on how every new stage has something fun to look forward to, but it's hard not to get a little sad looking at these pictures.

These are the photos we used on Little Miss' and E's birth announcements.

So far being a mother has been a combination of GOOD, bad, and sometimes ugly, but, I would never change places with anyone. Being a mom to my two kids is the greatest job on Earth! ...and I'm trying not to Blink!
