Where has the time gone?

We are creeping towards the end of January, and it barely feels like it has started! January brings a lot for us. It brings a new year, playoff games for the NFL and several birthdays (including a very special one). That is right, in one week from today Bruce will be six years old! I always thought that when he turned 5 and/or started kindergarten I would cry, but I didn't. I do believe that six is hitting me harder! He has learned so much this past year and has really grown up a lot more. It is hard to believe that he can read and write a lot better, tie his shoes, open his own lunch food (which he couldn't as the start of the year) and so much more. Memories are great to have and pictures are great too, because time seems to go so quickly that we need the reminders of small and simple things sometimes.

We are also nearing some other special days for us. In 3 weeks from today Levi will be 2! We are so amazed at how much he has grown up in the past 2 years, but mostly in the past 9 months! He went from walking slowly and babbling to running and learning several new words a day it seems! He can help get himself dressed and undressed, reconizes and says a few colors, puts his shoes on, sits still to watch 30 minutes of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse sometimes and so much more! We are so blessed with both of our children and we are really starting to see them shape into their own little by little. It feels like yesterday when Bruce was 3 and we found out we were expecting Levi!

And one more upcoming day is happening in 6 weeks and 1 day! Yes, I will be 25! I love getting older and I will probablly always love it. I feel like the older I am the more wise I can become and the more I can share! 25 is the last BIG birthday until 30, because I will be a quarter of a century old, get even more cheap car insurance, and be in my mid-twenties!

Those are all of the upcoming positives that will be happening soon! So far this year is going well, lets just hope that by the end of the year I can say the same thing and I can become an even stronger person!

God Bless!
