Funny how fast the years go now, when I want to savor every second, compared to the days when a year seemed to last forever. I think today of what will be happening next year at this time, when my oldest will be 6 and my youngest will be 2...amazing. Will we be planning for or expecting boy #3? Will the world have fallen apart as soon as Jack entered the school bus for the first time, like I expect it to? Will I wish I hadn't spent so much time worrying about Drew finally talking? Will I really feel another year older, or will I feel as if the years fly by, but I somehow get stuck at about age 23???
As I look forward and look back I realize that I need to be thankful for the everyday things like that amazing ant crawling across the porch, even if it takes an extra 10 minutes to watch the complete trip from one side to another...the evening chasing of the brothers, even if some bonks on the head happen...the 400 times of getting up to "tell us someping" from Jack...or as we call him, "the non-sleeper"...for aren't those really the things that make your life? Those huge, life events shape us and challenge our spirits, but the everyday ups and downs are truly how our life is defined. So, as I add to the list of "to do's" for 2008 the most important one I see so far is to stop and enjoy the endless rounds of itsy-bitsy spider and to dance to the ABC's every chance I get!
