everyone always tells you that time goes by way to fast. when you are young you think it is just a crazy way for people to say they love you, or tell you how grown up you are. but then you become a parent and you realize that they are right, time goes too fast. once you have kids time shifts into hyper-speed. as a stay at home mom i admit that i took pride in the fact that i was going to be at home every day with my kids and therefore cherish every minute and not miss a thing. wrong answer. i have been here almost every day, but i still feel like i have missed everything! ben is 2 and a half and cole is two weeks old! how did that happen. i was paying attention right? kinda. as a human i can't log away all the memories and moments i thought i could. i looked through the pictures on my cell phone the other day and cried when the realization hit me like a ton of bricks that ben is in fact no longer a baby. he is a big boy and has grown up so much. i feel like cole is already growing way too fast. so how on earth can i hang on to every moment/ how do i not forget? i can attempt to document as much as i can. but i find that is not enough. nor do i have the time to sort it all out, post it on our blog, plus write a journal of all the things i want to remember. hence this blog/journal was born. i want to write down the moments that pictures and video miss. i want to be able to read about my boys when they are grown and remember these fleeting days of having munchkins running wild. because although i am on my knees begging for mercy by the end of most days i konw these days will go by so fast and i will miss them. ben is so funny right now i was to freeze dry him forever so that he will always say things a little off like most toddlers do or bust out full sentences that i didn't know he knew. i really hope the big man has a dvr of our lives because that is the only way i will ever be able to relive all of these sweet moments and fast forward through the bad ones.
