Such a lovely reminder of just how quickly children grow. You would think I would know this, what with Zach being 22 now and having been through the Motherhood ropes one time already...I'm a second generation Mom. Amazingly, I am still surprised by it all.

While I was working on updating my 2014 calendar, I realized that Isabella was going to be 11 this year. Eleven. That's the same age Zach was when she was born. And I thought to myself, if I had another baby now {which I am 99% sure couldn't happen} I would be 69 when that child graduated from High School. As it is, I'll be old enough when these two precious girls graduate.

So, young Mommy's out there...

pay attention

relish the charms of the present

And that's all I'll say for now or I'll start crying.
