Can we pause time? My babies are no longer babies…
Cruise is 11 + a half, Chevy will be 7 next week and Tex is 8 and a half.
I am feeling old and don’t know where the years have gone. I worry that we’re always racing through life and we’ll forget to savour the little memories. I think this is why I blog – so I can remember everything!
I was in bed last night looking at this photo over and over. I kept nudging my husband and showing it to him. “They’re ours…” I kept saying.
Today, I will stare at them a bit longer and take photos of them in my mind… Love those kids!
Happy Monday! X

Gorgeous pic Katrina. Keep those boys little for as long as you can! My ‘babies’ are now 29 and 26 .. I would love to have them back to 9 and 6. Saying that though they are amazing young men, and we are still as close as we were when they were little. Your baby boys will always be your baby boys, they will just be bigger 🙂
Have a great day 🙂

Awww Katrina, they are so cute ! Gorgeous photo !! I am totalling hearing you – have been feeling the same lately as my only child has recently turned 14 and is now a head taller than me ! I have a photo next to my bed of me breastfeeding him as a baby…I swear I blinked from that moment to now and it makes me feel a little sad at how quickly time is flying by…I do feel we get ‘caught up’ in life and don’t stop and savour the moments…something I am very conscious of lately and trying my best to savour these moments !! I hope I live to at least 100 ! Have a great week !! Hx

Love love love my boys. And yes I seem to stare at photos of them all the time. That is a awesome pic of your three. This memory will be with you forever.

Enjoy every moment Katrina…my little girl turned 28 recently and is well and truly making her own way in this world. Many say you should live without regrets, however that is just too hard…no one is perfect…right? I do regret not living more in the moment…time passes far too quickly and before you know it, they are adults. You appear to have the balance on track and I am sure they appreciate you sharing all the special moments…if not now, the appreciation will come with maturity. I can assure you of one thing though…it just keeps on getting better. Enjoy! 🙂

Thanks Susan! I just feel this urgency to make things slow down if that even makes sense! X

I so feel the same way lately… like I need to pause time some how. I love that my blog is a way of recording all those precious little moments and memories to look back on one day. I can’t believe your little one is 7!! I remember him starting kindy only what feels like yesterday 🙂

I so relate to how you are feeling. I am savouring the last few years of my youngest being a little boy … as I know he’ll be a teenager in no time. My eldest is a man now, ‘boy-man’ we call him … body of a man, brain of ‘Lloyd’ from ‘Dumb and Dumber’. How can he get straight A’s at school and still not know how to cross a road? Or not know to look in the cupboard for a towel? Their brains become mush as soon as they hit their teens. You wait!!!!!! Carefree childhood? … over in a heart beat. Your boys are beautiful. What a lovely image to think of you sitting there, saying “they’re ours’. Savouring the moment. Taking stock. Precious. A-M xx
