Then and Now

Our house hold is growing up.
I admit that I have been very deliquent in blogging. I don't have any really good reason, just lazy I guess. I looked at the cat the other day and noticed how big it has gotten in just the few short months that we have had him. And it struck me how fast my children are growing. Some days it feels way too slow...... but other days it hits me just how fast it is flying by.
I haven't gotten any pictures of Annie when she was tiny, but I didn't want to leave her out either. She is so beautiful, and she is learning and growing up each day right before my eyes.


My stupid computer put my pictures on backwards so you will actually get the Now, and then the then. Joseph is so excited to ride his big boy bike and loves to go out and take a spin. He is very good to remember his helmet. I am glad to have one more year with him before Kindergarten.

He was such a tiny little thing. Always so good natured and easy going. Always LOUD. He came into to this world saying " I will be heard!!!!"



Trever is always thinking. Always smiling about something. He has gotten a little anxious as school has approached and started. He has some tender feelers...... sometimes.




He has always had something he seemed to be up to. He is a jokester and an adventurous little devil. He loves cats, and he loves to pester. He really doesn't like to be pestered though.


I can hardly remember when Caleb was a baby. It seems several lifetimes ago. He is so mature for his age. He is loving, kind and tries always to please and be his best. He is smart, and very sensitive.


I didn't have a digital camera when Caleb was small. I tried to scan a smaller picture in, but I was not patient and couldn't get it to work right. This is one I scanned in a more patient time. The candy bar he stole from Dad is almost bigger than he is. Such a cute little boy. So precious, the light of our lives. Always, Always moms big helper.

It seems as if our baby days are coming to an end. It make me sad, and yet I look forward to my children growing up and becoming great adults. They are full of potential and goodness. I hope and pray every day that they won't need too much counsiling to undo my damage and reach their potential and dreams. I miss my babies...... I love my children and I hope for my grown children.
