Yesterday as I went out for the mail it dawned on me that no one had asked to go with me for quite a while. They used to ask every time and it really was a pain to get 3 children's shoes on just for a walk down the driveway.
They used to always ask to drive "the long way" home so they could see the neighbor's horse. Then he sold the horse.
SK used to always ask me to read her a book. Now she reads by herself.
There are so many things that they used to ask for that they don't any more. Some of them were cute things we enjoyed with them. Some of them bothersome. Either way it's a reminder that time is passing quickly when we realize they don't ask any more.
Whenever possible, take the time youre children are asking for, because before you know it, it's gone.

Thank you for sending me the link to your blog. It will be nice hearing updates. They really are growing fast! I know what you mean, 8 seems SO very big. I mean only 10 more years and they will be 18!!!
The Lord bless you!

I cried when I read your latest posting. It made me realize how much time has passed in what seems like the blink of an eye. I can still remember you being pregnant with Sarah, and it cannot have been that long ago. I can still remember when my two girls were that age and they are now 23 and just shy of 27. Thanks for keeping this online journel. It will be interesting "journeying" with you.
Hugs all around.......
