[Tear]

Today, as I sat with my kids for lunch, I realized how much my kids are growing up, and how quickly! My, how time really does fly! Do you ever have those days when you look at your babies and just start taking in everything? Today was one of those days. Grant it, today had its moments, but mercy, just sitting there at lunch had me thinking! Ty, sitting there in his "Batman" cape. He has loved batman ever since I can remember. How much longer until he thinks he is to big for his cool cape? He won't always want to be batman. Jumping of the stairs, saving his sister [she plays Robin]  from the arch enemies...joker and penguin. How long will he be my sweet little Ty, who still runs up to me at random times of the day and throws up the " I LOVE YOU" sign. Tonight, during devotions he just laid down on my lap and asked me to scratch his back. Sometimes, I want to say, "no", but then again, I never ever remember my mama saying "no" to me when I wanted a back scratch during devotions. It seems like yesterday that Michael and I were on either side of my mom getting our backs scratched. So, I'm thinking that one day when Ty is older, and chasing a girl...and not wanting his back scratched anymore...I shall think of all these times. His batman cape, back scratching days.

Mercy, then there is Lana in the whole "baby" stage. Yea, I know she isn't a baby to you all, but to me she is still my little baby. Meg is still my baby. LOL.  Looking at her in the high chair, she's growing up so quickly. Just seems like yesterday, Meg was sitting in that same spot in her high chair. Meg is now almost six. Where in the WORLD did that time go!? I love my babies, and today, I realized....although I already new, that sometimes I need to slow way down and look at my babies. They won't be my little babies forever. I will miss these days when I'm old and grey. :D Wait, I already am....well, anyway, enough of my sapiness...I shall go now. :D

The End.

P.S. Tonight we made gingerbread men cookies. We decorated them with Fourth of July sprinkles. Yea, we're crazy. I think I like us. :D
