This is what time does. It makes your kids grow up. The picture I use on this page was taken almost two years ago in Costa Rica. I am sure I have mentioned that somewhere on this blog before. Emma was five and Davis was two. There was something about the way the two of them sat looking out Tia Laura's back door. They did that just about every morning while we were there. It was beautiful. The weather was warm and the breeze would blow right through the house, from the open front door to the open back door. You could see Tia's fruit trees out back and since it was green season everything was lush and green. Just stunning. So the kids would sit and look out on the yard and I think dream about living in that very place. They are one quarter Costa Rican. It is in their blood. I can't blame them. (please notice the empty spot next to Davis.....that is for Xander)
The picture below was taken this morning. The kids were playing Super Mario Brothers on the old school Nintendo. (Did you know Nintendo is in Spell Check?) Side by side and I notice something odd....
The boy is catching up to the girl. When did this happen? Davis is average size for his age. Emma is, of course, petite. It seems that Emma will have two younger BIG brothers. And they are ALL growing so fast.
Where did the time go? And is there any way that I can stop it for just one moment so as to savor this time, not forgetting one second? It is only a matter of time before my kids are no longer living in my home, possibly starting families of their own. (with three kids, my odds of grand babies are higher, right?) All of this, these times with my babies will be distant memories. So for now, I am going to relish in the here and now.

And who is Madi? LOL. You mean MadiSON. And tell me about it. Chloe has passed me too now I think. Jameison is around the corner and my won kids? Forget it. I would hope ALL the kiddos tower over me. At my size, it is not difficult to surpass me.
Love, Aunt Fiddy
