Time

Every single day I go to bed thinking "I cannot forget the little things that happened today" and 95% of the time I forget to write them down and they get lost in the back of my mind until suddenly something triggers a little memory of a tiny (or big) moment that has happened in my life.  So many of these memories are surrounding my little family.  Photography is one of the ways I can preserve these moments.  I am so thankful that we are able to do this type of thing to have something to look back on in the future and show the boys as they grow up.

The little years are SO fast. Too fast. PAINFULLY fast.  I cannot get enough of these boys, watching them together, with their daddy, with me... playing with them, cuddling with them, loving on them, sitting with them, running with them. All of it.  It is overwhelming and I get choked up whenever I think about how fast time has flown since we decided to start this journey of having children or even since I met Jack in 10th grade. Jack is quickly turning into a little boy and out of the toddler stage and as that is happening Hudson is becoming a toddler faster than I ever thought possible.

Jack and I have been together for almost 15 years and although that seems like forever to some it also feels like just yesterday he was asking me to be his girlfriend while standing in his mom's laundry room when my mom came to pick me up since neither of us were old enough to drive at the time. We have seen so much and done so much together.  All of the experiences are things that I will treasure forever.  Being a parent with him is the best by far.

I have a shirt that says "These are the days", and although cheesy, it is true.  These ARE the days.  Soaking them in and trying to enjoy them as much as possible. Even among the chaos and stress that comes along with life sometimes.

Thankful every second for this life that I have and the ones I get to share it with.
