A trip down memory lane

I think the best thing to do at this point is to just soldier on as if nothing has ever happened... as if it hasn't been over 6 months since my last post...

So.... moving on....

Mom and I went to Atlanta this past weekend to celebrate Ely's 4th Birthday. As as I was uploading the pictures I noticed something. Last year we went to the Atlanta Zoo and this trip we went back again, almost exactly a year apart (just one day off!). So I have quite a few pictures that look the same but are taken a year apart and you can really see how much Blayne and the Terrell kids have grown!! I thought it might be fun to look back through my pics and see what I could find. Here goes -

Mom 'n Blayne at the zoo last year and this year
Natalie - she looks so young in last year's picture!
Birthday boy, 3 and 4 years old
All the kids (plus one this year!)
Then I got a little crazy and went back two years to find these of Blayne and Hannah
Finally, I did this...
*tear!*

He's 3 weeks old on the left, almost 8 months old in the middle and the last one was this past weekend. Look at my little boy!! I always heard people say they wished their kids could stay little forever and thought it was a little weird but I totally get it now. Looking back through these pics, I kept seeing ones of Blayne as a baby and thinking "Oh I wish he was that little again!" It's like I wish I could've paused him for a bit longer at each stage. =) As much as I love him at every age, it really does go by too fast. Although he is so much fun now so I guess I wouldn't change anything. But sometimes I wish I could go back and re-live certain days all over again, just to enjoy my snuggly little boy who slept on me during every nap.

So glad I checked your blog today...and yes a pause button would be great (and some days-a fast forward button) but mostly a pause button.
