"The most important things in life are not things."

I found this picture of Lexie (15) and Lucy (4 mos.) buried deep in my Photoshop catalog, and although it was taken in December of 2007, I couldn't help but post it. Lexie is now 17 and Lucy is almost 2. It reminds me of how fast our children grow and how time flies. Lately I've been spending a lot of time reminiscing and trying to remember different events in my childrens' lives; what they looked like, what they sounded like, how they acted. The harder I try to hang on to their childhoods, the faster they grow. Letting go is not one of my strengths.

Lately, my advice to all my friends with babies and small children: "take a lot of pictures, even under protest, and make sure not to blink."
