Flashback Friday

Wow, I love this idea! Thanks to this blog which I read daily, I have decided to try to do one of these per week.


This might not be too much of a "flashback" but I do feel like this picture reminds me of ancient history.

I don't know about you but every time I have a baby I quickly lose the memories of that time in labor, or the times holding my baby for the first times, nursing her, bonding...

I often catch a glimpse of who my babies were when they were little from photos or videos and am smacked in the face again. Oh so badly I want to stop time.

They are growing and the one in the picture is now saying words like "backpack"...YIKES! That is kinda crazy!

And now that Sean and I are approaching the date that we met almost 10 years ago I have found myself stumbling to remember what it was like. I ask him to remind me about those first few days. Not because I feel like what we have now isn't enough but because I am afraid I am losing the memories.

So here is my question.... How do you stop time? How do you remember to savour every moment? I wonder what it would look like for God to slow me down and remind me of the sweetness that each stage in life brings???
