I'm the Mom. (Weird, huh?)

I always wanted to be a mom. I spent most of my youth wondering who I would marry and what our children would look like. Lately, when I'm out and about with the boys, the thought dawns on me, "Wasn't I just barely 15 years old? How am I suddenly pushing a double stroller everywhere I go??" Seriously, how did that happen??

Goodness, it goes fast! The ten years between ages 15 and 25 flew by. I can only imagine how the next 10 years will go—which is exactly why I need to soak it all in and enjoy the special moments while our children are small. That's what I'm working on now.


The boys in their first (of many) matching outfits, compliments of my mother.

  2. There is something about the teenage years that really stick with you. Sometimes, it shocks me when I realize that being 16 was half my life ago! And I almost have my own teenager?! Crazy. You're right - soak it up and enjoy every second cuz the next 10 years'll probably go even faster! I love the picture of the 3 of u!

  5. I feel the same way with only one! How did this happen?? Especially since I have so many non-married non-parent friends. I still feel like I'm 18!!
    Time passes so quickly, I have a love/hate relationship with it. The older I get, the more I lean toward hate, though. :)
