Another School year completed!! Next year 6th grade (Catherine) and 9th grade (Christopher). It seems surreal as I type this-- my babies going into junior high school/high school. I know I'm so dramatic about all things to do with my children- but this is the really hard part seeing how fast it really is going.   A few weeks ago I watched as Reed got ready for his Senior Prom. Jennifer and I had so much fun helping Sue get her house ready to host the Prom dinner. We got tables ready and flowers set and our daughters all worked side by side (Camille, Cat and Rachel). I had to run to Mom's to get some a plant and on the drive over- I couldn't hold back the tears. It all just caught up with me. Baby Reed is graduating, Camille looks like she's 17 already, Catherine is going to junior high.... Jenn and Sue and I all side by side with our kids... wow! we're all grown up and our kids are all grown up. Wait! wait.. slow down ~ I just want to stay right here and enjoy it all.

I guess it's everything that's changing.. Christopher is so darn tall (6 feet) and Catherine is now as tall as me (5"3). The are growing in every way.  I'm just consumed with a feeling that I'm going to wake up one day and it will all be over! I'm calling on God to help me live in the moment- take it all in one day at a time and know that He is walking us through this life just as it should be...and we move forward.
